We were thrilled to present Hon. Enoch Phale, Deputy Minister of Health, with a plaque honoring 🇲🇼Malawi’s remarkable achievement of eliminating lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem 🎊, only the 2nd country in subSaharan Africa 🌍 to do so. #beatNTDs

La cécité des rivières est la 2e cause infectieuse de cécité. 😲 Si vous vivez dans une zone à risque, un traitement au Mectizan prévient les troubles de la vue causés par la cécité des rivières. L’élimination de cette maladie protégera les générations futures 🏆 #LoveYourEyes

[Mectizan Donation Program @MectizanMDP]

Happy birthday to Lady Jean Wilson, founder of @Sightsavers, who coined the name "River Blindness." We all agree onchocerciasis is a little hard to pronounce! https://t.co/8Rsv89An0P

[Patrick ndongmo @NdongmoPatrick]

Neglected tropical diseases can be eliminated, but only if we work together. Join @Sightsavers and @RSTMH to discuss valuable learnings from the Ascend West and Central Africa programme, which supported governments in 12 countries to #beatNTDs.https://t.co/HNRW3gstdN

Here's a lovely video showing a recent distribution of Mectizan in the village of Minkama III in central Cameroon. It's wonderful to see the group of proud CDDs holding their well-deserved certificates of appreciation–—presented by US Ambassador Christopher J. Lamora.
