Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Road Map

The Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Road Map is a strategic plan developed by the World Health Organization to guide global efforts in tackling diseases that primarily affect impoverished communities. These diseases, often overlooked, include conditions like malaria, dengue, and schistosomiasis. The Road Map aims to reduce the burden of NTDs through improved prevention, treatment, and control measures by 2030. It emphasizes collaboration, research, funding, and access to healthcare, ultimately striving to enhance the quality of life for millions affected by these diseases and to promote health equity worldwide.
