Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases

The Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) is an initiative aimed at reducing or eradicating diseases that primarily affect low-income populations in tropical regions. These diseases, such as malaria and river blindness, often receive less attention and funding compared to more common ailments. The goal is to provide better health care, improve sanitation, increase access to medications, and raise awareness. By tackling these diseases, we can significantly improve the quality of life for millions, ultimately leading to healthier communities and greater economic development. Effective collaboration among governments, organizations, and communities is essential for this effort.
