Subject: #NTDSummit17 Day 2: New WHO Report, Industry Statement & Awards Galore!
Hi all,
It’s incredible how much this community achieved on just the first day of the NTD
Summit. Yesterday, global leaders from government, philanthropy and the pharmaceutical industry came together to discuss global progress against NTDs since the London Declaration, and the partnerships that powered that progress. If you weren’t
able to join in person, here are some quick ways to engage:
? Retweet RTI’s photo from this event, or share your own with the hashtag #beatNTDs
? Tweet a GIF from the data visualization unveiled at the event, which illustrates the incredible scale and impact of NTD programs
Today’s the main event – from the WHO Global Partners Meeting on NTDs to the Women in Focus Awards, there’s much more to look forward to.
Just a few hours ago, the WHO officially launched its Fourth Report on NTDs, which details
NTD successes and charts a path forward. The report, along with events in Geneva, has already been covered in over 20 top-tier outlets, including the BBC, Reuters, Bloomberg and CNN.
Help us celebrate on social media!
