Every year, 2B+ people #globally lack access to safely managed drinking water. On #WorldWaterDay, we are reminded that water is not just a basic need—it is a critical pillar of #publichealth, dignity, and sustainable development. #EndTheNeglect #BeatNTDs #HealthEquity

This week’s #NTDsMythBuster: we focus on #mycetoma. World Health Organization states—#Mycetoma often starts as a painless swelling, causing patients to delay care until damage occurs. #GANE urges early care-seeking, stronger detection, & integration of skin #NTDs into #WASH & primary healthcare.

This week’s #DeepDive is on #Mycetoma— an #NTD that continues to cause preventable disability in vulnerable communities. According to the @WHO, mycetoma is a chronic, progressively destructive disease of the skin & underlying tissues caused by certain bacteria or fungi.
