Frontline community health workers are essential to ending malaria and their voices deserve to be heard. 🌍 Sharing this important report from RBM Partnership to End Malaria and @learningfoundation.bsky.social capturing their experiences and insights. #EndMalaria #GlobalHealth 👇

What surprised us when we listened to more than 1,000 health workers fighting malaria? A short selection of contributions that read like natural experiments in malaria control: working cases from named districts and named countries. Full report and articles in the first comment.

We are thrilled to share a new publication by the STOP2030 team (which includes two of our 2025 interns): a scoping review on the cost-effectiveness of soil-transmitted helminthiasis intervention programmes. journals.plos.org/plosntds/art... #beatNTDs

Our team's roots span @gavi.org, PATH and #IA2030, so on #WorldImmunizationWeek2026, Bridges celebrates the power of vaccines- past and present! With support from Coefficient Giving, we're convening partners to accelerate next-gen malaria and Strep A vaccine development. #VaccinesWork #WIW2026

A malaria-free future is within reach. 🌍 To achieve it, we must innovate, integrate, and fund. With funding & leadership from Coefficient Giving, Bridges is proud to support a coordinated structure to accelerate next-gen malaria vaccines. Help shape this work: bit.ly/4skdczT #WorldMalariaDay

We were proud to join the 2026 NTD Program Managers Meeting in Malawi 🇲🇼 The theme, “innovative tools + sustainable financing for NTD elimination”, is why @stop2030.org exists. Our fixed dose co-formulation targets ALL STH species, especially those with suboptimal response to current treatment.

Julie was delighted to meet Dr Soneye Islamiat Yetunde, a Mwele Malecela Mentorship Program Mentee, at the 2026 Annual Meeting of NTD Program Managers in Malawi last week! Dr. Soneye is the Ogun State, Nigeria, NTD Coordinator and also a mother of 4 and member of the FGS Society of Nigeria.

Big News: The Malaria Vaccine Alliance is coming! 🌍 Thanks to funding and leadership from Coefficient Giving, Bridges will support the creation of a coordinated structure to accelerate next-gen malaria vaccines. Working in the field? Help shape our priorities: 🔗 bit.ly/4skdczT #MalariaVaccines

Join partners of the FGS Integration Group as well as @giz.de @bmz.de today for a webinar on strengthening financing for Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS), which is essential to advancing women’s health, equity, and integrated NTD responses!

Integration is the path to elimination. Yesterday, Bridges & GLIDE explored how to break silos in global health. From WHO HQ to national programs in Ghana & Kenya, the consensus is clear: Schistosomiasis care must be integrated into routine SRHR and primary health services. 🌍 #HealthEquity #beatNTD

We're thrilled to announce another exciting addition to FIG➡️ The Canadian Network for NTDs! This national coalition of Canadian organisation brings strong advocacy, research, and policy expertise to help us elevate FGS within global health priorities. bit.ly/FIG-schisto #EndFGS #EndTheNeglect

On #WorldNTDDay, we shine a light on female genital schistosomiasis (FGS). FGS is caused by a parasitic infection. It's easily treatable and preventable but often unrecognised & misdiagnosed, and many women receive the wrong treatment. Learn more here 🔗 bit.ly/FIG-schisto #BeatNTDs

On #WorldNTDDay, as a @stop2030.org partner, we're celebrating the approval by the Ghana FDA of the fixed- dose combination of ivermectin and albendazole. This co-formulation addresses the need for better medicines and combinations for intestinal worms by WHO’s 2021-2030 Roadmap! #beatNTDs

At #TropMed25, financing and access to NTD innovations were a key theme for Bridges. The donation model has taken us far, but sustainable access pathways are essential for the uptake of new innovations that will allow us to reach WHO’s NTD Roadmap 2030 control and elimination goals.
