"The health gains from climate mitigation and adaptation outweigh the costs and are a compelling argument for stronger climate action. Climate action could save millions of lives each year and generate a return of over 4 US dollars for every dollar spent” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, World Health Organization Director-General, at a recent roundtable. https://lnkd.in/efgJX8YH

Evidence Action recently conducted deworming in Nigeria. Targeting 1.4 million children, this deworming program is an example of the success of our partnership with local governments. We are grateful for the support of the Lagos government and believe this is an important investment in the wellbeing of the children of #Nigeria. Left untreated, parasitic worm infections can lead to anemia, malnourishment, and physical impairment that will compromise a child’s educational outcomes and income as an adult. Investing in deworming is one of the most cost-effective ways to support the health and wellbeing of children, and has signficant impacts on their longterm health and economic outcomes. https://lnkd.in/e8fDZ-7i
