India eliminated yaws in 2016, a chronic, disfiguring and debilitating childhood infectious disease. Science made it possible.

Through strong surveillance, early detection and effective treatment, the disease was eliminated, protecting generations of children.

Singapore’s Foreign Minister on why he cannot accept negotiating with Iran for safe passage of ships. Definitely worth listening to:

@Dr_JeanKaseya @AfricaCDC @ECDC_EU A decade of partnership. A deeper commitment - exemplifying that global health security is a shared responsibility, not a regional one. Strengthening the @AfricaCDC / @ECDC_EU axis is crucial for a safer, more prepared world. #GlobalHealth #OneHealth #HealthSecurity

@picardonhealth @mattscace67 @globeandmail Yet another ‘investigation’? This is not an anomaly. It is systemic failure. In less-resourced settings, such a death would provoke immediate consequences. Here, post-mortem reviews seem to replace accountability, obscuring the steady erosion of public health care capacity.

@picardonhealth @globeandmail 8 hours in ER. Chest pain. Tylenol. Death.
This is not an anomaly: rather, result of health-care system collapse. Reviews won’t save lives. Staffing, capacity & political accountability will.

Days after Prashant Sreekumar, a 44 year old Indian origin man, died in Canada after waiting over 8 hours for treatment, his wife seeks JUSTICE.

@WHOAFRO #ESPEN at 10: real #NTD progress, bigger challenges ahead. Congrats to new Co-Chairs. We must stay united and push until #elimination is achieved #beatNTDs

[Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative @DNDi]

💻 We recently hosted a webinar on bridging the research-to-policy gap for NTDs together with @aphrc.

👉Eliminating NTDs isn't just a scientific challenge; it's a governance and policy challenge which requires Africa-led domestic financing solutions.

Cigarette filters are the second-largest plastic pollutant on Earth, and do not reduce health harms.

Ban filters and protect the planet.

@GlobalFund @sibulele_sibaca @GFAN_Africa Great message — but ignoring #NTDs undercuts it. If the Global Fund is truly about “lives, livelihoods and hope,” then why are NTDs, which trap millions in poverty & misery, still excluded? Leaving them out is a blind spot.

@CombatNTDs @WHO Egypt’s elimination of #trachoma shows what a country's determination & relentless #NTD partnerships can achieve. Kudos to @TrachomaControl, @Sightsavers, @ITI_trachoma, @Rotary & @Pfizer. @WHO’s validation seals their success.

@BogochIsaac Sad to see #Canada losing its #measles elimination status. Recent outbreaks show serious gaps in vaccination & surveillance. This requires @CPHO_Canada to work harder to restore that status, improve coverage & protect our most vulnerable.

@TrachomaControl @WHO By eliminating #trachoma, Egypt has shown what relentless partnership can achieve. Kudos to @TrachomaControl, @Sightsavers, @ITI_trachoma, @Rotary & @Pfizer. Validation by @WHO simply seals their success. #BeatNTDs #GlobalHealth #EyeHealth

We're keeping up the push to integrate schistosomiasis and T. solium taeniasis control — building on ESPEN–GIZ (2020–2024) partnership on One Health NTDs — to reach 100% geographicalǰ coverage across the region. #OneHealth #NTDs

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

Rabies is a disease of inequality.
95% of deaths occur in areas where access to vaccines and health care is often limited.

Ending human deaths from rabies requires a comprehensive One Health approach - including mass dog vaccination, timely access to PEP, community awareness and more - so no one is left behind.

It's #WorldRabiesDay.

Every nine minutes a person dies from #rabies, although it is 100% preventable.

Protect yourself & your furry friends 🐶 by getting your dog vaccinated annually. Ensure people who are bitten also get access to life saving vaccines!

[African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) @ALMA_2030]

Despite decades of progress, #malaria is making a dangerous comeback.

In 2023 alone, Africa recorded 246 million cases and nearly 600,000 deaths, accounting for 95% of global malaria mortality.

In their latest opinion piece on @bmj_latest, @AfricaCDC's @Dr_JeanKaseya & @NebiyuDere36011 note that this crisis is avoidable with the right investment, collaboration, and leadership➡️https://t.co/oWSIKjRMJJ.

[World Organisation for Animal Health @WOAH]

This World Rabies Day, we are working with @RabiesAlliance to promote the use of high-quality, effective dog rabies vaccines. Effective dog rabies vaccines are crucial to ensuring the success of vaccination campaigns.

Together we can end rabies now.
