If we can’t talk about diarrhea, we can’t defeat it. That's why we launched DefeatDD in 2010: to break the poo taboo 💩❤️ and increase investment in vaccines & other prevention tools. Since then, 120+ countries have introduced the #rotavirus vaccine! #WorldToiletDay

"There are some diseases that cannot be completely prevented...But cholera is not one of them – it can be stopped. #Cholera persists because poverty, inequality, conflict and displacement persist." Powerful op-ed from @DrTedros and @HHichilema ⤵️ https://t.co/v89hhKQEzw
