Dr. Ame observed that a significant number of pit latrines in Tanzania have mosquitoes, posing a challenge as this leads to an escalation in NTD transmission. #AffectedVoices #AffectedVoicesTanzania

The upcoming affected voices meeting will feature delegates from Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Sudan—nations grappling with NTDs. The meeting will produce evidence for the affected to improve interventions and management of NTDs with chronic conditions.
With Africa bearing around 40% of the worldwide burden of NTDs, it's crucial to listen to those affected for insights into challenges and effective solutions. TIBA members and affiliates will be in Zimbabwe in December, excited to engage and learn from people's experiences!
