Trachoma is painful and can cause blindness. Surgery relieves the pain and protect a person’s sight. ❤️‍🩹

Today is World Neglected Tropical Diseases (#NTDs) Day. 💜

Over 1 billion people globally are affected by NTDs. These diseases are preventable and treatable, and are closer to being eliminated now more than ever before. Yet, NTDs remain among the most underfunded areas of global health. 🦠

Historic Trachoma update! 👀

For the first time since global tracking of Trachoma began, the number of people that are at risk of trachoma has fallen to 97.1 million. 🎉

In 2002, 1.5 billion people were estimated to be at risk of trachoma. That's a 94% reduction! ✨

Thanks to everyone involved! 💜

The nutrition progress in Nepal is at risk after funding cuts. 🇳🇵

Jan 2025, Nepal’s nutrition was improving. In the mid-1990s, they had the highest rate of stunting globally, with more than 60% of children under five affected due to poor nutrition. By 2022, that number had dropped to 25%. 👀

Last year, more than 1.6M people were screened for trachoma, and more than 2,400 required and received surgery. 🩺
