Global Institute for Disease Elimination (GLIDE)’s Post

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including trachoma, the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness, thrive in areas with limited access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). WASH interventions are essential across the full spectrum of prevention, treatment, management, and care for NTDs. However, it is estimated that 785 million people lack access to basic water services, over two billion people do not have access to basic sanitation, and three billion lack hand and face washing facilities at home. This #WorldWaterDay, we highlight experiences from Ethiopia, Nigeria and Uganda to improve cross-sectoral collaboration to achieve global targets for clean water and sanitation and #beatNTDs.
