@itvnews Noma is fatal in 90% of cases. Survivors often face severe disfigurement, pain, and stigma. It primarily affects poverty-stricken areas of Africa. Awareness and research are essential.

@Uni_Rwanda @5SFoundation @OSSREA @GetnetTadele7 @KiburMelese Today, the @WHO is calling on everybody, including leaders and communities, to #UniteActEliminate to free the estimated 1.5 billion people, in the world’s most vulnerable communities, from a vicious cycle of disease and poverty and to #BeatNTDs

@Uni_Rwanda @5SFoundation @OSSREA @GetnetTadele7 @KiburMelese Researchers across the GHRU stress that countries in Africa facing social political instability bear a higher burden of NTDs, and innovative technologies to address this are key 👉nature.com/articles/s4146…

🧵Today marks World NTD Day! NTDs are a group of preventable and treatable diseases that affect about 1.5 billion people around the world. These are present worldwide, but the burden falls disproportionally on the global south #WorldNTDDay #BeatNTDs #UniteActEliminate

@Uni_Rwanda @5SFoundation @OSSREA @GetnetTadele7 @KiburMelese In the wake of threats to funding and aid, research in this thread demonstrates how continued investment can be transformative to local and global funding and commitment can be made for ending NTDs worldwide. #BeatNTDs
