Read this from WHO - a grim situation.
It is only via equitable global cooperation, at all levels, that NTDs can be fully and effectively tackled. In a time of increasing nation state isolation and development aid cuts the challenge is greater than ever. But we must continue

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO warns that millions of people living with Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) continue to face profound and often unseen suffering due to discrimination, social stigma and untreated #MentalHealth conditions https://t.co/e8Sk0iuqtT
