World NTD Day 2022: Article Collection
More than one in five people worldwide are affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), resulting in over 1.7 billion people facing ill health and stigma, disability and even death. The group of 20 conditions are widespread in the world’s poorest regions, where water safety, sanitation and access to health care are not good enough.
This Sunday is World NTD Day (30 January 2022), this global day aims to mobilise political will and secure commitments to eliminate NTDs in support of the WHO’s NTD Roadmap 2021-2030, including the elimination of at least 1 NTD from 100 countries by 2030.
To mark World NTD Day, we have put together a together a collection of papers from Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and International Health on NTDs. These articles will be freely available until 27 February 2022.
