VERY EXCITED to be in #Liberia for the @REDRESS_Liberia dissemination meeting. Watch this space for engaging resources and findings on person-centred care for skin NTDs. Participatory action research at its best @NTD_NGOs@InfoNTD@NIHRglobal
Great to see the progress of @iCHORDS_CoP over the last 4 years- great steps in mentorship, focus areas and supporting the next generation of social and behavioural sciences to address challenges in the control and elimination of #NTDs@AKrentel@COR_NTD
Steve Rotherham, metro mayor, on health inequities in the UK - a baby born in Birkenhead has a life expectancy 12 years lower than in Westminster - we can and must do better and build a fairer, more equitable and just society @HCDCongress#healthequity#urbanhealth
Excellent session today @COR_NTD thinking about the role of co-ordination, collaboration and person-centred care for #NTDs. The role of trust and innovation with new partners essential for equitable progress.
Great to hear from Emerson Rogers, MoH Liberia, on the importance of many domains of action when thinking about early case detection: tackling stigma, engaging traditional and faith healers, and supporting health workers and people affected to work together #CORNTD2023
So pleased we got to learn from Emmanuel Zaizay in our session @COR_NTD today- the perspectives of people affected by #NTDs is so critical to meetings like these- let’s hope for more of it in the future too #CORNTD2023
Integration and person-centred care is at the heart of @REDRESS_Liberia with all our news and resources shared here: https://t.co/EJViPDU1me Great to see the importance of integration highlighted by @SoceFallBirima#CORNTD2023 opening plenary. @effecthope @AmericanLeprosy
Great to see the importance of #mentalhealth#stigma in #NTDs highlighted by Wim Van Brackel in #CORNTD2023 opening plenary. Great progress made…but more to be done! The BPS-N developed through their work a great resource!

Hearing from Sopna Choudhury from @UniversityofBi4 at the WHO #SkinNTDs meeting on the sustainability of self-help programmes in the context of leprosy. The importance of ownership and presence of champions within groups is crucial
@REDRESS_Liberia post intervention health worker quote “when I get back to the facility I will be able to distinguish between diseases, able to manage, and able to treat and refer” #SkinNTDs@Laura_Deano
Prof. Davey @BSMSMedSchool talking now @WHO#SkinNTDs meeting on
🟢Identifying cross-disease research gaps
🟢Global organizations working to support the identification of these research gaps (@NTD_NGOs@COR_NTD)
🟢The lack of #socialscience research to support these processes
@DrTedros highlighted the basis for any successful programme is for it to be patient centred, involving communities throughout the whole process #SkinNTDs@REDRESS_Liberia
