How can Zanzibar sustain decades of progress against NTDs?
At our sustainable financing workshop, we’re discussing with the Ministry of Health how to integrate NTD interventions into the health system and secure the financing needed to protect those gains. #beatNTDs
What does it take to build more connected, resilient responses to neglected tropical diseases?
At the upcoming @NNN conference in Kigali, Unlimit Health speakers will share practical experience across health systems, data, #WASH, #OneHealth and #FGS.

Mass drug administration for NTDs is already one of global health’s “best buys”.
Could #OneHealth make that investment even more valuable?
Our latest article explores the economic case for more integrated, sustainable approaches to disease control.

What role can #WASH play in eliminating schistosomiasis?
A new review supported by Unlimit Health reveals growing evidence, but important gaps in how we understand WASH, behaviour, and transmission. #WorldWaterWeek

Water nourishes crops, sustains livelihoods, and shapes childhood.
But there is a paradox. Where schistosomiasis is endemic, the same water can also expose children to infection.

Access to water alone doesn’t tell the whole story.
For #WorldWaterWeek, Yael Velleman explores research gaps around #WASH and schistosomiasis, and how our work in Uganda shows why quality, reliability, and use matter.

Not long ago, this community in Uganda relied on contaminated water.
Today, a community-built water system is providing safe, clean water and helping protect families from schistosomiasis. #WorldWaterWeek
