Ethical storytelling in #NTDs is shifting power. At a #NNN2025 workshop led by @tlmnepal with support from @DNDi , @TheENDFund & @BSMSMedSchool, participants learned about Photovoice, a method that centres lived experience through respectful, collaborative storytelling.
With challenging funding landscapes/differing donor priorities, local organizations can and do support research and dissemination. Thanks to @njohfoundation for ensuring our FGS/schisto work goes on. Visit our posters on HPV/FGS at #IPVS2025 and Health systems/FGS at #NNN2025

"It's not just #COVID19 that is killing people,
it's underprivilege,
it's lack of access,
it's years of living with health conditions that haven't been properly managed because of the colour of your skin, or your ethnicity, or your social group"- @DrMikeRyan#HealthForAll
