Neglected Tropical Disease Control Program

The Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Control Program focuses on combating diseases that affect millions of people, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions. These diseases, often overlooked in medical research and funding, include conditions like schistosomiasis and lymphatic filariasis. The program aims to provide treatments, improve sanitation, and enhance public health education to reduce the incidence and impact of these diseases. By addressing the root causes and facilitating access to care, the initiative helps improve health outcomes and quality of life for affected communities, ultimately striving for a healthier world where no one is left behind.
