  • Description:
    Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) cause devastating health and economic problems for the world’s poorest people, trapping them in a cycle of poverty and disease. NTDs cause disability that hinders school attendance, care of families, and earning wages, and disrupt productivity and already unstable economies.
