Great to see this animation, which we made in collaboration with the WHO Health Emergencies Programme. It explains the technical side of contact tracing during an outbreak, and promotes the new WHO Guideline on Contact Tracing, which we also designed. #DesignForGood

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

During an outbreak, what does “contact tracing��� mean?

A newly released disease agnostic practical guideline, helps to strengthen public health responses during outbreaks by defining essential terms.

This guideline kicks in after diagnosis, when the risk of transmission begins. It empowers health workers, governments, and public health officials with the tools to carry out more effective contact tracing.

Built on lessons various outbreaks, it provides clear definitions and strategic recommendations to improve response efforts globally.

Explore the guideline, now available in 6 languages: https://t.co/Mtl1NMx5H3

What is fragility? Fragility of a state, system or community = high risk exposure + low recovery capacity

E.g. a flood-hit community without resources to rebuild homes & restore services

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a harmful practice that is widely practiced in around 30 countries in parts of Africa, the Middle East and Asia where it is considered a cultural rite of passage for girls.

Evidence shows FGM can be prevented with concerted efforts and investment, including by promoting health, rights, and gender equality https://t.co/YK1eEAN365

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Health workers play a critical role to #EndFGM.

They need to know how to treat health complications of female genital mutilation.

Educating and engaging health workers can also significantly reduce uptake of the practice https://t.co/PTeE8CpJiI

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Female genital mutilation (FGM) can be prevented.

Across communities, governments, schools and the health sector, collaboration is needed to #EndFGM incl.:
🗒️ Engaging communities
🩺 Training health workers
⚖️ Enacting anti-FGM legislation
💰 Investing in prevention

New @WHO report on #malaria: 2.2 billion cases and 12.7 million deaths have been averted since 2000, but the disease remains a serious threat, especially in Africa.

No one should die of malaria.

We call on the affected countries, but also international donors, to step up investments and action to #EndMalaria.
