One person’s waste may seem insignificant, but its impact rarely stops with them. Improper waste disposal can block drainage systems, contribute to flooding, attract disease-carrying pests, and put entire communities at risk. Let’s do our part. Dispose of waste responsibly and help build healthier communities for all. #HealthForAllNG

Ivermectin is used in community programmes to prevent and treat river blindness. When entire communities take it together, it helps break the cycle of infection and protect everyone at risk. This approach is called Community-Directed Treatment with Ivermectin (CDTI), and it works. #RiverBlindnessNG @Fmohnigeria

CDTI puts communities at the centre of prevention, making it easier to reach more people and stop transmission over time. Ask your community health worker when the next treatment round is happening in your area, and share this so others stay informed too. #RiverBlindnessNG @Fmohnigeria

#NHWQUOTEOFTHEWEEK Health emergencies often reveal both the strengths and vulnerabilities of existing systems. While outbreaks may be temporary, the lessons they leave behind should shape long-term investments in people, institutions, and partnerships. Building resilient health systems requires continuous commitment, because preparedness is not defined by how we respond to a crisis, but by what we put in place before the next one emerges. #GHS2026 @SaskiaPopescu
