I do hope my old employers, Unlimit Health, join bsbyb soon, to showcase the fabulous work they do towards eliminating Neglected Tropical diseases. In the mean time, here is their recently published annual report: unlimithealth.org/annual-report/ with the fig👇 showing number of treatments supported

Really enjoyed participating in the International Task Force for Disease Eradication at the Carter Centre. The focus was on Taenia solium which causes epilepsy. Significant progress in the field raises the prospect of elimination in certain settings. Look forward to the recommendations. #NTDs
