NTD

NTD, or Neglected Tropical Diseases, are a group of infectious diseases that primarily affect people in tropical and subtropical regions, often where resources are limited. They include illnesses like leprosy, river blindness, and schistosomiasis. These diseases can cause severe health problems, disfigurement, and disability, but they have historically received less attention and funding than other global health issues. Addressing NTDs involves improved sanitation, access to healthcare, and preventive treatments, ultimately aiming to reduce suffering and improve quality of life for affected communities.
