With Fiji's recent announcement on eliminating #trachoma, 58 countries have now eliminated at least one neglected tropical disease (NTD).
This is proof that progress is possible, but it’s stalling.
We must invest now: every $1 in #NTDs returns up to $25 in benefits.
Let’s finish the job.

Photovoice gives agency, dignity & voice to affected persons. A powerful reminder: language shapes narratives, power & knowledge. Ethical storytelling means reframing how we communicate, advancing health sovereignty and ensuring those most impacted lead the way. #NNN2025 #BeatNTDs
