@arntd_org marks #WorldNTDDay with #beatSnakeBite campaign.
ARNTD was formed in 2013 to support evidence-based control and elimination of NTDs from Africa by empowering current and future African researchers for a continent free of NTDs.

1.5 billion. That is the number of people still at risk of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), simply because they live in poor, remote or marginalized communities. This is unacceptable. We must #beatNTDs & #LeaveNoOneBehind https://t.co/PmEB0L72ig

At the end of the day, neglected tropical diseases are diseases of neglected people. We know what needs to be done. Now we need the political & financial investment to finish the job. #BeatNTDs @RLMGlobalHealth https://t.co/PmEB0L72ig

[Prof Sam Kariuki, BVM, MSc, PhD, DSc (Hons, LSTM) @EADirectorDNDi]

We appreciate the efforts of healthworkers who have worked tirelessly to ensure that patients living with NTDs access quality healthcare. #WorldNTDDay #beatNTDs

[ARNTD @arntd_org]

2020 is a decisive year in the fight to #beatNTDs, and it starts now. On #WorldNTDDay, we’re standing with 200+ organizations to call for greater attention, action & investment to #beatNTDs: For Good. For All. @RLMGlobalHealth https://t.co/PmEB0L72ig

[Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative @DNDi]

Today is the first-ever #WorldNTDDay! Treatments for neglected tropical diseases often remain ineffective, highly toxic, unavailable, or unaffordable.

Innovative R&D 💡 🔬 and partnerships 🤝 are key to #beatNTDs and end the neglect.

[Unlimit Health @unlimit_health]

Today marks the anniversary of the 2012 London Declaration on #NTDs, a landmark global agreement to push for greater action. #WorldNTDDay will not only honour this incredible show of support, but inspire and rally partners each and every year @DFID_UK #UKaid

[Prof Sam Kariuki, BVM, MSc, PhD, DSc (Hons, LSTM) @EADirectorDNDi]

Over 1 billion people globally suffer from NTDs. It is a major milestone to commemorate the first ever #WorldNTDDay. I am excited that together with our partners we are making decisive efforts to find better treatments for these patients.

[Dr Camilla Ducker @drclstbg]

Today on #WorldNTDDay it is time to put an end of the suffering of billions. The NTD Partners are an amazing force committed and united to #BeatNTDs. For Good. For All. Together we can do it!!

[ARNTD @arntd_org]

8 yrs ago today, the historic London Declaration catalyzed an incredible surge of action & investment on neglected tropical diseases. Progress is possible, but there is a long way to go. Let’s make 2020 the year that puts us on track to #beatNTDs: For Good. For All. #WorldNTDDay

[ARNTD @arntd_org]

On the first #WorldNTDDay which is today 30/01/2020, let us be clear: no one in the world should have to suffer from a neglected tropical disease in 2020. It’s time to finally #beatNTDs so that everyone has the chance to live a healthy, productive, dignified life.

[ARNTD @arntd_org]

Why make 30 January an official World NTD Day? Because we need an annual, sustainable milestone to mobilize greater attention, action & investment to #BeatNTDs, particularly in the countries and communities most directly affected. #EB146

[ARNTD @arntd_org]

By definition, neglected tropical diseases need more attention & awareness. For the 1.5 billion people at risk, officially establishing #WorldNTDDay on 30 Jan ensures an annual milestone to hold ourselves accountable to #BeatNTDs. #EB146

[International Conference on NTDs in Africa @IncoNTD]

Join @arntd_org as we mark #WorldNTDDAY on January 30 laying down action plans to #beatNTDs. @InfoNTD @WFuoye @KenyaNtd @WHOGhana @tv3_ghana @Health_ghana

[ARNTD @arntd_org]

To #beatNTDs, we must do two things at once: strengthen health systems to reach everyone with solutions we have & increase investments to find the solutions we don’t. #WorldNTDDay https://t.co/PmEB0L72ig

[ARNTD @arntd_org]

Though the exact number of snake bites is unknown, an estimated 5.4 million people are bitten each year with up to 2.7 million envenomings.
