Fungal infections: The hidden threat 🦠 Serious fungal infections are often misdiagnosed or never diagnosed at all—and here’s why: 🔬 Tests require sometimes invasive procedures & advanced labs 👩‍⚕️ Only highly trained professionals can carry them out 🚑 Many local health workers aren’t trained to recognize them For millions, especially in low- and middle-income countries, this means never knowing why they’re so sick—and missing the chance for the right treatment. It's time to improve access to diagnostics and train health workers to spot the signs! bit.ly/42bAxc5
