Congratulations to the health workers, communities, public health experts and the government of #Pakistan on eliminating #trachoma -- this is a monumental achievement for the country and the global fight against the disease.

It underscores the power of collective action, innovative thinking and a shared commitment to a healthier future for all.

It's #WorldRabiesDay.

Every nine minutes a person dies from #rabies, although it is 100% preventable.

Protect yourself & your furry friends 🐶 by getting your dog vaccinated annually. Ensure people who are bitten also get access to life saving vaccines 🐾https://t.co/M74Jg5q9dH

Research estimates that a Lassa fever vaccine could save thousands of lives and prevent millions in societal cost.

But what is Lassa fever? Who does it affect? And what symptoms does it cause?

Did you know that #Lassafever infects 2.7 million people every year—ten times more than previously thought? With no licensed #vaccines or treatments, could this be West Africa's hidden pandemic threat?
