The Alma Ata Declaration states that “people have the right to participate in the planning & implementation of their health care”. Listening to communities affected by NTDs is critical to realise this right. Learn more at #NNN2021 workshop 1.5.

Curious about our name and logo? Kikundi is the Kiswahili word for “group,” while the logo is a West African Adinkra symbol signifying togetherness. The name was nominated and voted upon by Program Managers to symbolize collaboration in their work to combat NTDs in Africa.

Wish it wasn’t true, but sadly it is. A number of my friends in the game sadly experience this more often than not.
For myself, it’s a daily basis...!

If everyone who has been grateful for the NHS over the past 12 months followed and retweeted we’d reach a million followers by midnight.
