1.5B people are affected by #NTDs. This isn't just a health crisis; it's a human rights crisis. Lacking resources & policies keeps communities in a cycle of poverty. Sick children can't learn & sick adults can't earn. We need a Human Rights-based approach https://t.co/tG4RprMOia
It was great to meet: Lord Trees, Lauren Sullivan, MP and Rt Hon @AnnelieseDodds at the #WorldNTDDay reception last night. We discussed the importance of advocating for #NTD elimination, and the UK’s support of #LF elimination in Africa, and #NTD Research and development.
Let’s UNITE for NTDs! 🤝
We're on a mission to #beatNTDs, but we need your help.
We've worked alongside governments, donors and partners to transform lives globally.
Together, we can do more! Join the movement 👇
