Hydroceles, a symptoms of lymphatic filariasis, can be painful and disfiguring. Almost 800M people live in areas considered at risk for infection throughout throughout the world, while 51M people were estimated to be infected in 2018. https://t.co/WmktDNQkpN
A safer world, free from the devastation of disease outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics and all forms of public health emergencies, depends on compliance and implementation of the International Health Regulations.
Let’s all participate in these important processes.
An amazing high-level side event at #AUSummit@_AfricanUnion with inspiring discussion on promoting sustainability through resource mobilisation and financially resourcing an Africa free of neglected tropical diseases. Together we can #BeatNTDs!

With due respect, our leaders don’t get it. @_AfricanUnion
