17th meeting of the @WHO Strategic Technical Advisory Group on Neglected Tropical Diseases. An honour to be joined by the Nigerian Ambassdor (middle, front row) who gave a powerful presentation on the proposal to include #Noma in the #WHO NTD list, led by Nigeria & 30+ countries

"I am very thankful and supportive of the Africa #YoungInnovators4Health Award that significantly contributes in the achievement of our common goals through tangible and intangible support to African entrepreneurs" Dr. @SoceFallBirima, Director, Neglected Tropical Disease @WHO

But of course! Our Jimmy and his wife Rosalynn

"Addressing NTDs is not only a fight against the diseases but a broader battle against systemic poverty, improved access to healthcare, sanitation & education. Together, let us shape a future where no individual is neglected, and all flourish in health and wellbeing" #BeatNTDs

I’m delighted and honoured to take a new role to lead WHO’s efforts to control and end Neglected Tropical Diseases #NTDs . Communities at center and partners together! Let’s #EndNTDs !

Successful recently finished 21st Regional Programme Review Group and National Neglected Tropical Diseases Programme Managers’ meeting in EMR countries. #StrongerTogether #BeatNTDs

I was very happy to start my day with partners helping us to #BeatNTDs. My asks: 1. Shift from process to impact 2. Shift from disease-specific approaches towards integration & cross-cutting interventions 3. Shift from externally-driven programmes towards country ownership

Kicking off the @WHO #NTD meeting with @DrTedros & @SoceFallBirima #StrongerTogether To achieve better health we need to deliver on the 3 strategic shifts of the NTD roadmap; a focus on impact, a move to integrated programmes & most importantly a shift to country ownership

What does sustainability look like for NTD programmes - some guiding principles from @USAID - most importantly we need to recognise that these activities take time to develop & implement #Toward2030

🚨The AU & Rwanda have signed the Host Country Agreement on the headquarters of the African Medicines Agency (AMA). The Agreement was signed by @RwandaHealth, Dr Sabin Nsanzimana, & AU Commissioner for @AU_HHS H.E. Minata Samate. - nepad.org/microsite/afri…

Stronger together towards ending Neglected Tropical Diseases #StrongerTogether #EndNTDs #WHO

The Global NTD Program Partners’ Meeting is underway in #Geneva, bringing together more than 200 partners to celebrate wins, overcome barriers, and catalyse new and better strategies for elimination, in support of the @WHO’s 2030 #NTD roadmap. #StrongerTogether #EndingNTDs2030

Day 1 of the Global #NTD Programme Partner's meeting. Strong start w @DrTedros & @SoceFallBirima demonstrating @WHO commitment to translate advocacy to action to #beatNTDs. This is an important opportunity to reset & realign the many strong partners across these 20 diseases.

Support the three shifts advocated in the road map for #NeglectedTropicalDiseases: more impact-focused action, more cross-sectoral approaches, and more country ownership towards sustainability. #StrongerTogether #Towards2030 #EndingNTDs2030 #EndingtheNeglect

#WHO is proud to convene global and local stakeholders to #Geneva on 12–13 June for the Global #NTD Programme Partners’ Meeting. #StrongerTogether #Towards2030 #EndingNTDs2030 #EndingtheNeglect

End #NeglectedTropicalDiseases with stronger country leadership, more cooperation among partners to bring coherence to interventions, more funding, more R&D and more strategic advocacy in support of the #NTD road map 2021–2030. #StrongerTogether #Towards2030 #EndingNTDs2030

Interventions for #NeglectedTropicalDiseases are targeted to reach the most underprivileged communities in the world, and are often the only contact these communities have with health services, thus closing gaps in #UniversalHealthCoverage. #StrongerTogether #Towards2030

On June 12–13, health authorities, pharma industry, donors, implementing partners, academia and patients’ associations will meet at #WHO to discuss action towards a world free of #NeglectedTropicalDiseases. #StrongerTogether #Towards2030 #EndingNTDs2030 #EndingtheNeglect
