The image features large purple text stating "61" and underneath, "countries have now eliminated at least one NTD, bringing us closer to achieving the WHO NTD Roadmap goal on NTD elimination!" The background is yellow, and the bottom right corner has the logo and text "UNITING TO COMBAT Neglected Tropical Diseases."

A historic win for global health! 🌎Chile has officially eliminated #leprosy, making it the 61st country to eliminate at least one #NTD. We are more than halfway to the @WHO 2030 Roadmap goal of 100 countries! Let’s keep the momentum going. #UniteActEliminate #BeatNTDs

This week’s #DeepDive is on #Mycetoma— an #NTD that continues to cause preventable disability in vulnerable communities.

According to the @WHO, mycetoma is a chronic, progressively destructive disease of the skin & underlying tissues caused by certain bacteria or fungi.

Pink text on a white background: "The WHO NTD Roadmap goal on NTD elimination!" Bottom right logo: "UNITING TO COMBAT Neglected Tropical Diseases."

HISTORY MADE: Libya 🇱🇾 is officially the 28th country to eliminate #trachoma! 🎉
The global total of countries that have eliminated at least one #NTD is now at 60, well on our way to the @who.int 2030 target of 100 countries! Let's #BeatNTDs together.

Efficacy and safety of acoziborole in patients with human African trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense: a multicentre, open-label, single-arm, phase 2/3 trial Given the high efficacy and favourable safety profile, acoziborole holds promise in the efforts to reach the WHO goal of interrupting HAT transmission by 2030.

World #NTD Day (30 Jan) highlights progress against neglected diseases. Human African trypanosomiasis, once lacking effective treatments, now has hope through acoziborole - a first-in-class oral therapy, made possible by global collaboration and smart science.

Over 58 countries have eliminated at least one #NTD. And the work of the global trachoma community shows just how much progress is being made. In 2002, an estimated 1.5 billion people were at risk of trachoma. Now that number has fallen to 97.1 million—that is a 94% reduction in just 23 years. 🎉

The world has hit a milestone: 58 countries have eliminated at least one #NTD as of 2026. But climate change is fighting back. From #Chikungunya in Kenya to #Dengue in Sudan, #EnvironmentalData and #Modelling are critical to predict risk and optimise response strategies.

The news that #trachoma risk has dropped from 1.5B people to under 100M isn't just a "nice stat", it’s a massive win for precision and, an indicator of what targeted, evidence-driven action looks like.
Here is to a year ahead where #modelling helps drive progress toward #NTD elimination.

Leprosy, a #NTD, is preventable but highly stigmatized, causing disability & social harm. To strengthen the national response to leprosy care, National Consultant Workshop on #Leprosy Strategy 2025–2030 was conducted in Kathmandu, focusing on early detection, inclusive care & stigma reduction.

Figure 2.16 from 2026 WHO Global Report on #NTDS. This is a box plot showing the distribution of % population in countries incurring catastrophic out of pocket health care expenses by country income group: red bar - high income, green bar - low income, blue bar - lower middle income, purple - upper middle income. The median and interquartile range of all bars are overlapping.

Another notable result in the @who.int 2025 Global #NTD report - % pop with catastrophic out-of-pocket health expenditures (>10% household income) seems relatively similar. This is partly a bias in metric - as in lowest income countries, costs less likely to be incurred as people can't pay for this

Some very useful & interesting findings in @who.int Global 2025 #NTD Report on % pop with access to basic sanitation services. As expected, much higher in rich countries - but variation between countries, ie. 100% in Kuwait & Chile and 94.8% in USA 🤔

In less than 20 years, coordinated #NTD programmes treated 1.7 billion people and eliminated at least one disease in 14 countries.

Funding cuts now risk undoing this progress, particularly in the world’s most vulnerable communities.

Infographic from WHO displaying a decrease in Guinea worm disease cases from 3.5 million to 15 in 2024, with a bar graph illustrating the significant reduction over time.

From 3.5 Million Cases to Just 15: the near-eradication of #GuineaWorm disease is a powerful testament to global commitment. This success - plus 58 countries eliminating at least one #NTD, proves elimination is possible.

Two individuals smiling and conversing while walking in a village street. One is wearing a vibrant pink and black traditional outfit, and the other is in a white polka dot shirt.

The math is simple: $1 spent on #NTD control yields ~$25 in economic gain. Our Board Vice Chair, Prof. Francisca Mutapi, argues it's time for African gov'ts to commit reliable domestic funds.

Read why it's a strategic development choice: https://bit.ly/48LsiGT #BeatNTDs
