21 January 2022 | According to Dr Mwinzi Pauline, the technical officer for #ntds at World Health Organization Africa office, countries in #africa lost significant gains made in #schistosomiasis control due to the #Covid19 pandemic. We can prevent further erosion of these gains by stepping up investment in tackling #schistosomiasis and other #ntds . Some of the actions needed include collecting more accurate data, deepening engagement with communities and stepping up disease control and elimination efforts that are data driven and more targeted. Eliminating diseases of poverty is the best way to break the vicious cycle of poverty for communities around the world. It would enable children not to miss out on education and adults to work and earn a living.
