World HTLV day – Enhancing awareness and strengthening the global response [1]

[]

Date: 2024-11-07

10 November marks the World HTLV Day, celebrated by international HTLV community and stakeholders, and WHO aims to take this opportunity to reaffirm its commitment to this virus, to engage with stakeholders, strengthen the response, and amplify awareness about HTLV.

Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus type 1 (HTLV-1) causes a lifelong infection that can lead to severe diseases, premature death, disability, stigma, and reduced quality of life. In 2021, WHO published a report highlighting key priorities to improve the global response to this neglected virus.

Despite its inclusion in the Global Health Sector Strategy (2022-2030), progress has fallen short. WHO is committed to strengthening efforts, using its global network to raise awareness.

Interpretation will be available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French.
