WHO Road Map for NTDs 2021-2030

The WHO Road Map for NTDs (Neglected Tropical Diseases) 2021-2030 is a global plan aiming to reduce or eliminate diseases that mainly affect poor communities, such as river blindness and leprosy. It sets goals to prevent new infections, treat affected populations, and strengthen health systems. The plan emphasizes collaboration among countries, organizations, and communities to improve awareness, access to medicines, and sanitation. By 2030, the vision is to significantly reduce the burden of these diseases, improve quality of life, and move toward their complete elimination in some cases.
