Extremely pleased to share our first published TB Drug Resistance Survey (DRS) paper from Timor-Leste in BMC Journal – Global Health Research and Policy: "Experience on the first national anti-TB drug resistance survey in Timor-Leste" ghrp.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
WHO #TimorLeste & @MdSTimorLeste reviewed the #ICBS-TL program at CHC #Becora. Now active in multiple facilities, this digital platform unifies #TB, #malaria & #HIV data—simplifying reporting, tracking trends, and cutting down on manual work toward a paperless future
Rising TB Cases Demand Urgent Action: Insights from the 2024 WHO Report—Join the Fight to End TB! #EndTB #TBReport2024 #HealthForAll
Here’s a glimpse of the journey into this remarkable achievement: The path to elimination was a nearly two-decade journey of determination, driven by multipronged strategies and relentless healthcare efforts. 3/8
#LymphaticFilariasis (LF), or elephantiasis, is a parasitic disease spread by #mosquitoes. Though infection occurs in childhood, its painful and disfiguring effects—such as the enlargement of body parts—appear much later in life, leading to disability and stigma. 2/8
In 2005, Ministry of Health launched mass drug administration (MDA) in 5/13 districts to curb infection, but low funds halted progress (2007-2015) In 2015, WHO’s seed funding revived elimination prog, leading to 5-yr KOICA grant in 2016 fr integrated multi-disease elimination 4/8
Timor-Leste entered post-MDA surveillance after confirming, through WHO surveys, that prevalence was below target thresholds. MDA was halted nationwide, while the Ministry extended care for lymphoedema and hydrocele patients at health facilities. 6/8
From June to Aug 2024, with support from WHO & @USAIDTimorLeste; @palaciodascinza conducted an LF elimination validation survey to confirm elimination. An independent WHO-convened Regional Dossier Review Grp studied evidence & recommended @drtedros to proceed with validation. 7/8
Here’s hoping to a future where fewer, and ultimately no one, like 81-year-old Fernando Ximenes, will suffer the pain, disability, and stigma of lymphatic filariasis. 8/8 #ThreadEnds
Congratulations #TimorLeste for eliminating lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem. 👏🏾 Timor-Leste is the fifth country in the Region to eliminate this neglected tropical disease.
Timor-Leste achieves a major health milestone by eliminating Lymphatic Filariasis! @drSaimaWazed presented the elimination certificate at the ongoing WHO #RC77 in India, making it the fifth country in the WHO SEA Region to achieve this. #WHOSEAR #RC77 #elimination 1/8
Timor-Leste pledges USD 1 Million to WHO’s Core Health Programme! On #Day1 of WHO’s 77th SEA Regional Committee meeting in India on Monday, countries & key partners pledged over USD 345 million to support WHO’s core program of work for 2025-2028 1/3 #globalhealth #RC77
For a NCD-focused survey, #TimorLeste follows the STEPwise approach, a @WHO-developed framework for monitoring NCD risk factors through questionnaires and physical and biochemical measurements. Read what this involves 👉🏾 buff.ly/49qypzP
