Sexual & reproductive health rights are key for universal health coverage. #UHC means everyone, including women & girls, can access health services without discrimination or financial hardship. Read how NTDs affect women and girls: https://t.co/B6pCZ1oZfs #UHCDay#HealthForAll
Integrating NTDs into routine health services both sustains progress to #beatNTDs and strengthens systems to respond to other health challenges. Read @TrachomaControl’s blog to learn how programs to #endtrachoma are contributing to #healthforall. https://t.co/B34cHjpo5F
