WHO Roadmap for NTDs

The WHO Roadmap for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is a strategic plan that guides global efforts to control, eliminate, and eradicate these often-overlooked diseases, mainly affecting poor communities. It sets targets and actions for improving healthcare, increasing access to medicines, and strengthening programs over a set period. The goal is to reduce the health and social burden of NTDs by improving diagnostics, treatments, and prevention measures, ultimately aiming for a world where these diseases no longer cause suffering or hinder development in vulnerable populations.
