The cost-effectiveness of #vaccines, including #rotavirus, is influenced by modeling choices. Join me at #iHEA2021 to discuss the importance of dynamic transmission modeling when assessing the cost-effectiveness of universal rotavirus vaccination programs. healtheconomics.confex.com/h…

The WHO recommends deworming adolescent girls annually during HPV vaccination and women during pregnancy and lactation, to reduce STH-related morbidity in women of reproductive age. What lessons can we take home aiming to achieve the #NTD2030roadmap?

Let's bring down the worms!
The overall decrease in prevalence of soil-transmitted #helminths and schistosomes is testament to the intensive efforts Ethiopia has made to eliminate them. What are the next steps to 'bring down the worms'?

Back again to #schistosomiasis with another question.
Can we achieve the @WHO goals of morbidity control and elimination of #Schistomoma haematobium by using the current guidelines? Are they enough?

Facial cleanliness is key for the #trachoma elimination strategy. #WASH is critical for NTD control & prevention. Reliable, standard, practical measures of face washing are needed. How should we measure face washing in trachoma elimination programs?
Tim Jesudason retweeted
Facial cleanliness is a key component of the SAFE strategy to #endtrachoma. However, as @WHO/@NTD_NGOs WASH/NTD toolkit states, the clean face indicator is “…investigational, requiring further research to confirm its programmatic relevance, repeatability, utility and/or safety."

Stigma and discrimination associated with NTDs can impose a significant burden on mental health. Join @ISNTD_Press this Thursday to discuss why disability inclusion is critical to #beatNTDs and achieve #NTDroadmap2030 targets. Register here: isntd.org/isntd-connect
The 11th annual @NTD_NGOs conference highlighted the importance of people-centred, comprehensive health programmes that strengthen health systems and promote resilience. Learn more in my latest article in @TheLancetInfDis. #beatNTDs thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

In 1897, trachoma became the 1st disease to be classified as "loathsome" by the US Government. Since then, the US has taken a lead role to #endtrachoma, much of which is thanks to Pres. Jimmy Carter, who today celebrates his 96th year. Happy birthday! trachomacoalition.org/news-b…

Gender-specific differences in prevalence, transmission & exposure to NTDs are common, however there is limited research on how gender interacts with service provision & uptake. New research applies a gender lens to health seeking for 5 #NTDs. #beatNTDs journals.plos.org/plosntds/a…
