Take responsibility and grow from your errors. Bring hope to every wounded soul. Strolling through endless fields of blossoms lets time softly unwind. There are no frantic strides or petty interruptions—just vibrant flowers, a gentle wind, and soothing sunlight, allowing one to

It is a new year! It's a new project!
Today we set off to the field to work in 10 hard-to-reach communities in Wenchi Municipality in the Bono Region and the Atebubu Municipality in Bono East Region of Ghana.

Although access to these areas is challenging, engaging these communities is critical for effective schistosomiasis surveillance.

Interestingly, this is the most exacting fieldwork the team has ever undertaken. This particular fieldwork on schistosomiasis took us to riverine communities, where transportation is primarily by canoe.

and sustainable interventions; therefore, our team places a strong emphasis on meaningful community engagement.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW
The NetrodisOH research team began the year with fieldwork in March on schistosomiasis in very hard-to-reach communities in the Sene West District within the Bono region of Ghana.

[Consortium for NTDs & One Health(NeTroDisOH)-UENR @netrodis]

The team worked closely with community leaders and members, involving them in almost every component of the study. Community entry and engagement are central approaches in all our studies as a research team. Community participation is essential for accurate disease surveillance

Great research work on the One Health approach in schistosomiasis @Revivalist_yrb! We @netrodis understand that human health is inextricably linked with animal & environmental health. We utilize the One Health approach in our research to combat NTDs and emerging pathogens!
