#EndTheNeglect

As we countdown to #WorldNTDDay, we are building momentum with the #NTDTriviaChallenge—a daily knowledge series designed to inform, engage, and spark action 🌟

From 16-28 Jan, we'll be sharing one trivia question each day, unpacking the realities of #NTDs to encourage informed dialogue.

In sub-Saharan Africa, >40M men may be living with MGS—often without symptoms—leading to chronic inflammation & long-term morbidity.

As #WorldNTDDay2026 approaches, we must #EndTheNeglect by recognizing and addressing all forms of neglect 🌍

This week’s #DeepDive, we highlight Male Genital Schistosomiasis (MGS)—a largely overlooked form of #schistosomiasis, one of the world’s most widespread #NTDs

Globally, #MGS remains under-diagnosed & poorly understood, often missed in sexual & reproductive health discussions.

From strengthening local surveillance to safeguarding shared resources & promoting inclusion, community-led solutions help close gaps that health systems alone cannot address.

At #GANE, we continue to champion #youthled advocacy, inclusive #publichealth strategies, & sustained community engagement.

As #WorldNTDDay—30 January—draws near, we are reminded that while policies, partnerships, & investments remain critical, lasting progress is driven by community action.

That's why our #GANEs3Ways segment highlights simple, practical, approaches that empower communities in the fight against #NTDs 🌍

#GANE is a youth-led movement committed to ending Neglected Tropical Diseases ( #NTDs) through advocacy, community action & innovation.

Join us in raising awareness, driving #WASH solutions, and empowering communities for a healthier & more equitable world 🌍
