Dengue can develop into life-threatening complications known as severe dengue. Yet, there is still no specific treatment available.
Together with our partners, we're working to change this.

🦟#Dengue is an emerging health threat for 🇪🇺.
Climate change, urbanisation and mobility are creating conditions for dengue to spread beyond traditionally affected regions.
#EU can learn from the experience of Asia and Latin America to strengthen #preparedness before cases rise.

Before 2016, only a few scientists were working on #mycetoma. Now, 200 scientists spread over 36 countries are researching to bring an end to the debilitating disease, thanks to partnerships with organizations like @dndi. Learn more about the journey -> globalhealthnow.org/2026-05/…

As global health budgets shrink, three Geneva-based non-profit R&D groups —
@DNDi, @gardp_amr & @MedsforMalaria — are joining forces to accelerate lifesaving medicines for malaria, neglected diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

For years, #mycetoma left Banchayehu from Ethiopia with a heavily swollen foot, unable to wear shoes or care for her 3 kids. After finding treatment at Boru Meda Hospital, she's reclaimed her life. Her journey reminds us why we advocate for early diagnosis & health equity.

⚽ Developing a treatment isn’t a solo run. It’s a team effort.
As the world gets ready to kick off the #Football World Cup tomorrow, we’re spotlighting a different kind of squad 👉the one it takes to develop life-saving medicines for people with neglected diseases. #FIFAWorldCup

In 2016, #mycetoma was recognized among the #NTDs & thru partnerships and patient-centered research, @DNDi is working to make treatments safer, more effective, and accessible.
Continued research, innovation, and care are vital to end this disease.

#Mycetoma in Ethiopia’s Afar region is often detected late, leading to disability & limb loss. In this study, nearly 90% of patients presented after 12 months of symptoms and 13% required amputation. @PLOSNTDs

Finding new treatments for #Chagas disease is urgent. This study screened over 2,400 compounds and identified promising candidates, using approaches like cell painting to understand how they act against T. cruzi.

We welcome Global Health Architecture reform discussions & stress biomedical innovation must be core. Market forces alone won’t deliver public‑health R&D. Reform must boost public‑interest models & ensure innovation is governed & financed for impact&equity dndi.org/statements/2026/dnd…
