📢Great news for the fight against Female Genital #Schistosomiasis & more broadly to #beatNTDs. Congratulations🤗to @COR_NTD, @ARNTD & all research 🔬& implementation partners on #WorldNTDDay for the achievements to research and #beatNTDs to date🌍❗️
Up to 56 million women have female genital schistosomiasis - a disease few have heard of that can cause pain, infertility and increased risk of cancer.
The UK is backing @COR_NTD research this #WorldNTDDay to help tackle FGS and improve women and girls’ lives around the world.
@RoryStewartUK The world is connected & interdependent. Foreign aid is not simply a case of ‘hand-outs’. It allows the UK to promote women’s rights & education. Which, in turn leads to better outcomes for all. A stronger global south provides opportunity & resources for us all.
Many live in very tough situations in Britain but the extreme poor in sub-Saharan Africa live in much tougher conditions and money goes much further there. It would be grossly irresponsible for richer countries to ignore global poverty because there are issues at home
This week, join us as we continue our celebration of #TDR50. If you’re in Geneva @WHO, visit our poster exhibit outlining TDR’s achievements and impact on efforts to combat diseases of poverty… @UNICEF@WHO@UNDP@WorldBank
