We have done it before and we know we can do it again. If we all come together and get to work, we can #beatNTDs sightsavers.org/protecting-sig… #WorldNTDDay

Neglected tropical diseases affect more than a billion people around the world. This #WorldNTDDay, @Sightsavers is calling on the global community to work together to eliminate these devestating diseases. It can be done, if we #UniteActEliminate.

Hortance Manjo: "Integrating primary eye care into primary healthcare services will go a long way towards achieving this goal This integration should encompass the entire continuum of care, from prevention and promotion to treatment." Thanks @melodychironda for the excellent Q&A

Why is inclusive eye health so important? Women account for more than half of blindness and visual impairment across the world. And compared to people without disabilities, people with disabilities are 3 times less likely to get the health care they need. That's why @Sightsavers

Here's my #EyeCreation for #WorldSightDay. Everyone, including remote and rural communities, women and girls, people with disabilities, should have access to the services they need. @Sightsavers is calling on global leaders to end the geographical inequity of eye health services

Meet Phiri Postan, an Ophthalmic Nurse from Zambia 🇿🇲 With no eye health care available in his district, Phiri knew his calling was to be the first from his area to train in that field. This #WorldSightDay, we're celebrating the importance of better eye care 👁️

Have an idea for an #EyeCreation? 👁️ Thursday 12 October is #WorldSightDay, and we're asking you to join us sharing something innovative, to celebrate the importance of sight. Learn more here: bit.ly/46t7ku3

I’ve signed @Sightsavers petition to ensure world leaders do not leave people with disabilities behind from vital progress at the #SDGSummit in September. Will you join the rescue mission? #PromiseInPeril #LeaveNoOneBehind campaign.sightsavers.org/page/128565/pe…

"If governments, donors, and other organisations disregard people with disabilities in their efforts to achieve the SDGs, and philanthropic funding levels for disability projects remain static, progress will continue to falter." @Sightsavers @Alliancemag alliancemagazine.org/blog/philanthr…

Meet Gertrude, Jane, Abia, Joy, Reya and Sarah, the six women who refused to be limited by negative attitudes. Instead, they chose their own paths and decided to tell a radically different story. Follow their stories at #WD2023 this week. sightsavers.org/a-womans-place… #WomensRights

Worldwide, around 18% of women have a disability. But disability issues are often forgotten within the women’s rights movement. @Sightsavers is attending #WD2023 to call for action to address this injustice. sightsavers.org/disability/wom…

"My mission is to make systemic changes to  the eye health system in Uganda" @AttoGladys speaks about life as an ophthalmologist in Karamoja, and partnering with @Sightsavers to treat and prevent avoidable blindness. Thanks @chocomocococo for this Q&A. documentwomen.com/discussing-eye…

"In Malawi, there are only 14 ophthalmologists (0.5 per million people), 20 in Mozambique (1 per million people)...lower than the World Health Organization's minimum recommendation of 4 ophthalmologists per million." @SumranaYasmin @Sightsavers Thanks @melodychironda for this Q&A

"The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals clearly outline the goal of making sure that no one is left behind. But health systems are not always sensitive and responsive to inclusive health." Thanks to @EseoseMohammed for this @Sightsavers Q&A on NTDs and inclusive health.

Benin and Mali have eliminated trachoma 🙌 Boubacar Morou Dicko, @Sightsavers: "Ending the disease will break the vicious cycle of pain, disability and stigma for many patients, as well as increase productivity, improve school attendance and allow greater empowerment for women."

An interesting read about the changing world of PR. I agree with the multi-phased approach to create momentum over time, rather than pushing everything out at once. Go for longevity, it shouldn't always be about short-term PR wins.
