We need to work together to eliminate trachoma. If any of these puzzle pieces are missing, individuals, families, communities and countries will continue to feel its painful impact. With @Sightsavers we play our part to #EndTrachoma. #PlayYourPart too: sightsavers.org/global-villa…
To meet #SDG6, there is a critical need to vastly increase financing. This ROCKBlue panel will cover the different types of commercial financing, the challenges with attracting them, and solutions, with panelists from @WorldBank @GFI_green and @Water.

Hands are the key carriers of disease-causing germs. Communicable diseases like diarrheal accounts for 9% of all deaths among children < 5 worldwide.
Did You Know: Handwashing with clean water & soap reduces the risk of diarrheal diseases by 42-47%?

Its a peak time to have systems approach around WASH in health facilities….this is a basic right of our mothers, newborns and health care professionals
‘Every birth should be supported by a safe pair of hands’ @FatimaGohar786 @UNICEFAfrica speaks emotively @world_midwives event - great to see so many midwives engaged in WASH for quality, safe care discussion #ICMCongress2021
To prevent #AMR through #WASH, @EssackSabiha suggests:
1.Invest in WASH
2.Incorporate WASH in disease education
3.Reduce our biocide footprint
4.Ensure that WASH in communities is integrated into action plans
5.Ensure action plans have WASH implementation
#StopSuperbugs
When @Wellcome_Trust asked experts which #AMR interventions are feasible and impactful, #WASH and #IPC were suggested as top interventions. To #StopSuperbugs, we need to break siloes in health. @becky_sugden

Many (around 50 countries) #AMR national action plans highlight the importance of #WASH, few have explicit targets, monitoring, or funding for WASH or other cross-sectoral measures. @becky_sugden @Wellcome_AMR bit.ly/3hIXnlH
