Our partnership works to control, eliminate, and eradicate neglected tropical diseases & improve the lives of over a billion people
Innovation is key! In 2024, 1.8 billion #NTD treatments were delivered, 6 new medicine formulations & a new dengue vaccine were WHO prequalified, and 33 new online courses launched. Progress is happening! #BeatNTDs

Huge wins in the fight against #NTDs in 2024! 🎉 Kenya validated for eliminating rhodesiense HAT, Brazil & Timor-Leste eliminated lymphatic filariasis, and India, Pakistan & Viet Nam eliminated trachoma. Jordan is the first to eliminate leprosy! #BeatNTDs

#Trachoma, the world's leading infectious cause of blindness, no longer poses a public health risk in Fiji thanks to the Ministry of Health & Medical Services' sustained efforts in #publichealth. This achievement highlights the power of collaboration and dedication.

AI is transforming #NTD learning! 🚀 From no-code chatbots & AI-generated workbooks to predictive models for malaria & schistosomiasis, this evening's #NNN2025 AI and #NTDs session showed how #tech can boost training, planning, reach & impact. #BeatNTDs

Youth, especially young women, must be equipped to co-create policy. Their digital fluency + fresh ideas + mentorship = stronger, inclusive #NTD responses. From local solutions to global collaboration, the path to climate-resilient NTD action is youth-led. #BeatNTDs

This morning at #NNN2025 day 3, youth from across the globe convened to spotlight the urgent link between climate change and #NTDs, a connection still too often overlooked.
Youth Combating NTDs champion Dr. Fatima Elbasri reminded us: climate must be integrated from the start of NTD projects
