Journée mondiale des maladies tropicales négligées – 30 janvier

Le 31 mai 2021, l’Assemblée mondiale de la santé (AMS) a reconnu le 30 janvier  Journée mondiale des maladies tropicales négligées (MTN)  par la décision WHA74(18).

Cette décision a officialisé le 30 janvier comme une journée visant à mieux sensibiliser à l’impact dévastateur des MTN sur les populations les plus pauvres du monde. Cette journée est également l’occasion d’appeler chacun à soutenir la dynamique croissante en faveur du contrôle, de l’élimination et de l’éradication de ces maladies.

Les partenaires mondiaux des MTN ont marqué la célébration en janvier 2021 en organisant divers événements virtuels et en illuminant des monuments et des bâtiments emblématiques.

Suite à l’adoption de la décision WHA74(18), l’OMS s’est jointe à la communauté des MTN pour ajouter sa voix à l’appel mondial.

Le 30 janvier commémore plusieurs événements, tels que le lancement de la première feuille de route contre les MTN en2012; la Déclaration de Londres sur les MTN ; et le lancement, en janvier 2021, de l’actuel feuille de route .

World Hepatitis Day – 28 July

ELIMINATE HEPATITIS
The elimination of viral hepatitis has now been firmly put on the map. At the 69th World Health Assembly in Geneva, 194 governments adopted WHO’s Global Strategy on Viral Hepatitis, which includes a goal of eliminating hepatitis B and C in the next 13 years. The community responded by launching NOhep, the first ever global movement to eliminate viral hepatitis by 2030.

On WHD 2017, we can build on this momentum and accelerate progress towards achieving the goal of elimination by 2030. 

ELIMINATE HEPATITIS is a simple call to action that everyone can get behind. Regardless of your priorities, the theme can be easily adapted for local use; to achieve elimination, greater awareness, increased diagnosis and key interventions including universal vaccination, blood and injection safety, harm reduction and treatment are all needed. Every activity that addresses viral hepatitis is a step towards eliminating it.
