Congratulations to the health workers, communities, public health experts and the government of #Pakistan on eliminating #trachoma -- this is a monumental achievement for the country and the global fight against the disease.
It underscores the power of collective action, innovative thinking and a shared commitment to a healthier future for all.
In a historic achievement for the country, @WHO validatesPakistan as the 19th country to achieve the elimination of trachoma, a bacterial eye infection that can cause irreversible blindness if untreated—as a public health problem

It's #WorldRabiesDay.
Every nine minutes a person dies from #rabies, although it is 100% preventable.
Protect yourself & your furry friends 🐶 by getting your dog vaccinated annually. Ensure people who are bitten also get access to life saving vaccines 🐾bit.ly/2lOHbop

Research estimates that a Lassa fever vaccine could save thousands of lives and prevent millions in societal cost.
But what is Lassa fever? Who does it affect? And what symptoms does it cause?
