SUMMARY:Integrating FGS to Optimize Women and Girl's Health in Africa
DESCRIPTION:What is FGS? \nFemale Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS) affects millions of women and girls on the continent of Africa. It is a complication of chronic\, untreated schistosomiasis in women and girls. Schistosomiasis is a common neglected tropical disease that is transmitted to people when they interact with fresh-waterways that are home to snails that carry schistosomes – the parasite causing the infection. FGS occurs when the parasite’s eggs migrate to and damage the urogenital tract. If left untreated\, FGS can result in severe SRH complications such as ectopic pregnancy\, miscarriage and infertility\, an increased risk for HIV and HPV. FGS is unrecognised and often misdiagnosed as a sexually transmitted infection. FGS mainly affects women and girls living in vulnerable circumstances\, often lacking access to clean water\, sanitation and hygiene and primary health care services. \nRationale \nThe integration of FGS offers an opportunity to deliver comprehensive\, quality healthcare services for women and girls. There are various models through which FGS can be integrated into the wider health care system to ensure accurate\, timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent the long-term impact from this disease on sexual and reproductive health including infertility and an increased risk of acquiring HIV and HPV. Addressing FGS – a preventable\, affordably treatable illness affecting millions of women and girls across Africa – ensures existing investments in health care for women and girls at risk are responsive to their needs. \nObjectives \n\nShowcase different models of FGS integration from East\, West and Southern Africa\nPromote an understanding of how FGS can be integrated into the wider health system\, particularly sexual and reproductive health rights and services\nImprove engagement and discussion amongst funders and implementers on existing and future opportunities for integration.

SUMMARY:Neglected Tropical Diseases and WASH\, Spotlight on Trachoma
DESCRIPTION:In honor of World Water Day on March 22 and the UN Conference on Water\, the Canadian Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases (CNNTD)\, in partnership with Operation Eyesight Universal and the University of Calgary\, Alberta Council for Global Cooperation\, highlight Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) as diseases needing equitable access to Water\, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for their prevention and management. NTDs affect over 1.7 billion people (globally\, 1 in 5)\, most of whom live in under-resourced and underserved communities that lack access to water and sanitation and primary health care. Although the scale of NTDs as a public health problem makes the solutions seem daunting\, this session shares successes in NTD prevention and treatment globally that have been supported by Canadians within the global health community. One organization doing NTD elimination through global partnership is Operation Eyesight. The provision of clean water\, along with other critical efforts\, is preventing and supporting the treatment of Trachoma in Kenya\, Zambia and Ethiopia. Learn about impact stories\, WHO strategies to eliminate Trachoma and other NTDs\, and Canada’s contributions towards achieving health for all. \nClick here to register!
