Our postdoc Dr Friederike Hunstig and doctoral student Rica Artus were delighted to meet Dr Annick Mondjo from the Ministry of Health in Gabon at the CERMEL last week to discuss collaboration on #snakebite envenoming research and how to combine our research with other NTDs such as #rabies. #beatNTDs #Gabon🇬🇦

Around the world, neglected tropical diseases affect more than 1 billion people, trapping generations in cycles of poverty and stigma. Today on World Neglected Tropical Diseases day, @WHO’s message is clear: Act Now, Act Together, to #BeatNTDs.

Addressing the overview of the #GFINDER report launch at the @PCuresResearch launch webinar,
@PeterHotez highlights the devastating impact of the UK funding drop & the need for the G20 countries, among others to step up & fill the gap in Neglected Disease R&D funding. #BeatNTDs https://twitter.com/elimin8schisto/status/1620419424338743303

📢Funding neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is a ‘best buy’ in global health, both in terms of impact and in leveraged funding.
With increased investments, actions and collaboration, countries can beat NTDs. #100percentCommitted to #BeatNTDs #WorldNTDDay

Do consider #NTDs for your next research topic – they don’t kill many people but are a significant burden of disease, and have huge impact upon quality of life.

#WorldNTDDay #beatntds

30 January is #WorldNTDDay. Very keen to return to more research around Neglected Tropical Diseases, now the pandemic has been blunted a little bit, and countries are looking to mainstream their covid19 management.

Next Monday on #WorldNTDDay we will attend the "Snack & Talk about #NTDs" event to talk about #snakebite envenoming. 🐍 If you are in Hamburg, come join us! You can find the details in the link below 👇 #beatNTDs #globalhealth https://www.bnitm.de/en/news/veranstaltungen/world-ntd-day-2023

Would never have thought that a paper about #scabies #outbreaks in UK #carehomes would end up with over 100 citations (and at the moment is my most cited paper)

And with scabies now being a Neglected Tropical Disease, good to see a bit of momentum building about addressing this #NTD as a global #publichealth problem
