Read this from WHO - a grim situation.
It is only via equitable global cooperation, at all levels, that NTDs can be fully and effectively tackled. In a time of increasing nation state isolation and development aid cuts the challenge is greater than ever. But we must continue
WHO warns that millions of people living with Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) continue to face profound and often unseen suffering due to discrimination, social stigma and untreated #MentalHealth conditions bit.ly/45D1gki

Proud moment for @IITKgp!
Dr Budhaditya Mukherjee (SMST) has been selected as an EMBO Global Investigator, among just 12 scientists worldwide. His project on drug-driven adaptability in Leishmania advances critical insights into drug resistance and host–pathogen interactions.
This recognition connects him to a global network of 800 top life scientists.
Congratulations, Dr. Budhaditya Mukherjee!
