Hi All,

Today is the last day of our #beatNTDs campaign! We’re in awe of everything this community has achieved in just one week.

                      
Yesterday, global partners positioned tackling NTDs as a global priority and key for sustainable development. Here are a few highlights: 

 

?         World Bank blog post on ending suffering from NTDs: Learn why two World Bank health specialists consider NTD control “one of the best buys for health.”

?         END Fund & Sabin Vaccine Institute joint blog post on the Vatican’s commitment to NTDs and supporting the poorest: The END Fund and Sabin Vaccine Institute share takeaways from the Pontifical Council for Healthcare Workers at the Vatican this past November.

 

Today, we’re celebrating the global NTD effort as a movement poised for success. Fewer people are suffering from these diseases than ever before. Success is possible – so we can’t stop now.

                    

Digital assets to help amplify this message can be found here. Here are four easy ways to participate:

?         Tweet this data visualization on Guinea worm disease progress: “We're on track to make Guinea worm disease the 2nd human disease in history to be eradicated! #beatNTDs pic.twitter.com/4sChlthB1g” 

?         Tweet today’s #beatNTDs graphic and tag WHO Director-General Candidates: “To achieve the #globalgoals, the next #WHODG must commit to #beatNTDs pic.twitter.com/9bCYJtYOxX @DrTedros @davidnabarro @SaniaNishtar”

?         Retweet Trevor Mundel sharing his new Medium blog post “Five years ago I witnessed something truly amazing”

?         Finally, on a lighter note, test your NTD knowledge with this fun Buzzfeed quiz, ‘Can You Spot the Real Disease from a Game of Thrones Disease?’ and share it with your networks

 

All this and more is available in our full toolkit and collection of partner content.

Thank you for driving this important conversation to #beatNTDs! We’ll be in touch again next week with a full recap of all campaign activities.

Best,
Rebecca
