Communities are at the centre of Kenya's 🇰🇪 elimination of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) or sleeping sickness as a public health problem.
Sustained community-based screening, surveillance, and prevention resulted in no indigenous cases of HAT emerging since 2009 👇🏿
📢@WHO a validé l'élimination de la trypanosomiase humaine africaine (maladie du sommeil) en tant que problème de santé publique au #Kenya🇰🇪, ce qui en fait le 10e pays à franchir cette étape importante.
Félicitations au Kenya ! 👏🏿
#EndNTDs
As donor support shrinks, #Africa must lead in tackling #NTDs - still affecting 1.6B+ globally, with 40% of the burden in Africa.
In our new @natAfrica1 article w/ @_AfricanUnion & @CombatNTDs, we call on AU Member States to reclaim full ownership of their NTD agendas.

Nearly 123M NTD tablets were at risk of expiry after the USAID stop-work order — threatening 89M treatments across Africa.
While 55% were saved, 45% still hang in the balance.
