Control of NTDs

Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) involves coordinated efforts like improving access to clean water, sanitation, and health education, as well as administering targeted treatments such as vaccines and medicines. These strategies reduce disease transmission, morbidity, and mortality in affected communities. Additionally, efforts include vector control, such as insect reduction, and strengthening healthcare systems to diagnose and treat cases early. Community engagement and international collaboration are crucial to sustain progress and eliminate NTDs as public health threats, ultimately improving quality of life and economic productivity in vulnerable populations.
