Great to hear from Emerson Rogers, MoH Liberia, on the importance of many domains of action when thinking about early case detection: tackling stigma, engaging traditional and faith healers, and supporting health workers and people affected to work together #CORNTD2023

@tedros agrees that #NTDs desperately need more resources if we are to #BeatNTDs & also agrees to support the community in its ask to be included in the Global Fund.
This is amazing & would be a game changer for under resourced NTDs! #StrongerTogether #SkinNTDs
