CAPHIA was among the 2,000 individuals and organisations who took the time to share insights and recommendations in response to the Australian Governments Covid-19 Response Inquiry. Organisation and individual submissions are now publicly available (where the author has given permission) on the Inquiry webpage. We look forward to more updates from the Panel and are glad to have been a part of this important and ongoing conversation. "There was a common theme in the submissions of wanting to capture the lessons learned, before they were lost to the passage of time. Four years on since the start of the pandemic, as a panel, we share that sense of importance and urgency to better prepare for a future event."

Benin and Mali have been validated by the World Health Organization for eliminating trachoma, a significant milestone in the battle against neglected tropical diseases! This achievement underscores the dedication and collaborative efforts of health authorities, partners, and local communities. Trachoma, the leading infectious cause of blindness worldwide, disproportionately affects communities in Africa. The elimination of trachoma in Benin and Mali demonstrates the effectiveness of comprehensive strategies and interventions recommended by the World Health Organization. ESPEN has been instrumental in supporting countries' efforts to combat trachoma and other NTDs. Through capacity building, technical assistance, and integration of interventions into national health programs, ESPEN continues to drive progress toward the elimination of NTDs in Africa. Learn more about ESPEN's impactful work and how we're driving progress in the fight against NTDs through the ESPEN Portal.
