@COR_NTD "My research career has taught me [that] research [should be] guided by needs [and] research results should guide policies for maximum public health impact."
Dr. Patricia Garcia at Closing Plenary #COR_NTD21 https://t.co/NOdXwaF16r
@COR_NTD Why do we think we were able to go from research to policy and action? Dr. Patricia Garcia discusses her top 10 reasons at Closing Plenary #COR_NTD21 https://t.co/HxipkQv5Z1
@COR_NTD “The Elimination Initiative is a well thought [out], well based, feasible project to achieve a sustainable and improve[d} lifestyle for the peoples of the Americas.”

@COR_NTD “One key question ... is how can CDDs and other NTD staff be better supported to deliver MDA and other programs safely and effectively during the COVID-19 pandemic and other health shocks?” Lee Hundley on OR Results and Recos for NTD Programs in the COVID-19 Context at #COR_NTD21 https://t.co/EuhcG9FE4L
@COR_NTD “Training [for skin NTDs] forms a key strategy in the reduction of patient suffering and assists in delivering the goals laid out in the WHO Roadmap.” – Claire Fuller on Improving the Patient’s Journey at #COR_NTD21 https://t.co/yOEM7Y6tOL
@COR_NTD “[The] COVID pandemic introduced many common themes with NTDs, especially the critical necessity for sample for validation, importance of international cooperation in exchange of samples and data, and bottlenecks associated with regulatory frameworks.” Aidan Emery at #COR_NTD21 https://t.co/cVJyuGhq98
@COR_NTD “Great progress has been made on implementation of precision mapping and capturing the focal nature of schistosomiasis, but there are challenges and more operational research that is needed to address this.” Stella Kepha at #COR_NTD21 https://t.co/l4iOHqoSPP
@COR_NTD “We do now have the possibility to achieve a more permanent control, perhaps even to eradicate some diseases. But at least for the foreseeable future we will need to maintain surveillance systems that pick up any resurgence at a very early stage.” – Epco Hasker at #COR_NTD21 https://t.co/NBTjr8rLjy
