On #WorldNTDDay, we shine a light on female genital schistosomiasis (FGS). FGS is caused by a parasitic infection. It's easily treatable and preventable but often unrecognised & misdiagnosed, and many women receive the wrong treatment. Learn more here 🔗 bit.ly/FIG-schisto #BeatNTDs

Despite some progress, the fight against many NTDs remains off track.
At #EB158 we urged Member States to fund NTDs, advance R&D, support inclusive research, & tackle climate-sensitive diseases.
