It can be simple (more soap , please!) or tricky (let’s move our drug distribution to a different place ) but prioritizing hand washing helps safely continue #BeatNTDs programs in a pandemic #GlobalHandwashingDay https://t.co/mdP85qVeFH

We’re big fans of #GlobalHandwashingDay! This simple practice helps fight the spread of infectious diseases and has been critical to ensure #BeatNTDs programs can continue safely during the #COVID19 pandemic https://t.co/Dy0v2YIoMy https://t.co/tZDnZYzjcx

It’s #WorldSightDay! #DYK that when we check people for trachoma using #TropicalData, we gather vital evidence to eliminate the blindness-causing disease, helping govts & health workers find people who still need treatment? Learn more: https://t.co/8NWRPsGwsh #beatNTDs https://t.co/sCQ6xdDlD6

Amazing #WorldSightDay fact → Since 2012, about 10 million people have had their eyes checked for trachoma using #TropicalData and #GTMP. Even with #COVID19 disruptions, that’s about 1 person examined every 26 seconds! #BeatNTDs https://t.co/Vi7cLnBJUg

RT @USAIDGH: Proper #handwashing with soap and water represents the first layer of defense against #COVID19 and other infectious diseases. But many places around the world cannot practice this behavior due to a lack of access to water and soap. #GlobalHandwashingDay @USAIDWater https://t.co/VrhFbKeMd0

RT @ehardingesch: For #WorldSightDay, celebrate the global community that's supported >50(!) countries to be surveyed for trachoma, a preventable #NTD that causes blindness Meet some of the #TropicalData team leading this work to #EndTrachoma @Sightsavers @RTIfightsNTDs @ITIatlanta @LSHTM @WHO https://t.co/508L0HcPOD

Great news this #WorldSightDay! More than 99 million people are no longer at risk for #trachoma — the world's #1 infectious cause of blindness — in countries supported by @USAIDGH Act to End NTDs | East program! #BeatNTDs https://t.co/p7GQpbQctj

Happy #WorldSightDay! Through @USAIDGH’s Act to End NTDs | East program, we are proud to be working to eliminate trachoma and onchocerciasis – two diseases that can lead to blindness #beatNTDs #VisionForAll https://t.co/nlHUvGC5vB
