World Chagas Disease Day

Delegates attending the 72nd World Health Assembly have approved a proposal that will henceforth designate 14 of April as 'World Chagas Disease Day'. Raising awareness and the profile of this ‘silent disease’ - which is often diagnosed in late stages – is key to early treatment and cure. Celebrating World Chagas Day on 14 April will provide this unique opportunity to add a global voice in favour of ‘forgotten diseases’. https://twitter.com/NTDworld/status/1133018889061851138 https://www.who.int/neglected_diseases/en/ https://www.who.int/neglected_diseases/news/world-Chagas-day-approved/en/
