A historic milestone was achieved at the #WHA78, where a resolution was adopted recognising #skindiseases as a global public health priority. Now, @WHO is conducting an important survey to gather insights that will inform a global action plan.

Can #NTDs really affect countries outside the tropics? The evidence says yes.
This week’s #NTDsMythBuster, we unpack a misconception: #NTDs only exist in tropical regions.
While most #NTDs are concentrated in tropical regions, their geographical boundaries are expanding.

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 & ensuring those most impacted lead the way. #NNN2025 #BeatNTDs

Today marks the beginning of the final five months of Canada’s #G7 Presidency.
Reflecting on Canada’s legacy of global leadership in advancing women and children’s health, it's a period to build on historic commitments to a healthier world.
In Canada and around the world, healthy families and healthy communities are foundational to prosperity, security and resilience.
When people are healthy, they can pursue their goals, stay in school, drive economies and innovate solutions to problems that affect us all.

On our #NTDsMythBuster—Not all diseases announce themselves with symptoms—some work in silence. #Schistosomiasis is one of them.
This parasitic infection can persist for years without obvious signs, causing liver fibrosis, kidney failure, bladder cancer & stunted growth.
