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, with many women receiving the wrong treatment. Learn more: bit.ly/FIG-schisto

Neglected tropical diseases affect more than one billion people worldwide, creating cycles of poverty and preventing people from achieving their full potential. Yet they are preventable, treatable, and can be eliminated. This #WorldNTDDay, let’s #UniteActEliminate to #BeatNTDs

About to start!
