Did you know? Ending leprosy isn’t only about treatment-it’s about dignity. Across the world, people affected by leprosy face stigma that isolates them from families, schools & workplaces.
Together, we can build a world where every person is valued & respected. #ZeroLeprosy

Over 1.7B people lack basic sanitation, fueling the spread of #NTDs.
Handwashing with soap is a simple yet powerful tool to break the cycle.
Let’s push for better hygiene education & access to clean water—because prevention starts with clean hands.

Findings from the EBOLA+ D study show that psychological distress after viral outbreaks is not limited to survivors, it also affects caregivers, families, and entire communities due to social and economic disruptions.
Thanks to @royalsociety for hosting a 2-day meeting on hybrid schistosomes in Africa. Grateful for the chance to present surprising cases from Malawi where zoonotic and hybrid species were highly abundant in stool. Controlling zoonotic transmission - a huge hurdle for elimination
Skin-related #NTDs encompass a group of diseases that manifest with skin lesions. These diseases are often co-endemic and share common diagnostic and management approaches,making integrated strategies for their control both practical and beneficial.
