Improving neglected tropical disease (NTD) services and integrating into primary healthcare

With our project in Ethiopia, we seek to integrate prevention, diagnosis, management and reporting interventions of three NTDs into the healthcare system.

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) continue to affect more than one billion people worldwide, disproportionately impacting the those living in vulnerable circumstances and marginalised communities. With one of the highest NTD burdens in Africa, Ethiopia is implementing a new project that will explore the feasibility, acceptability and cost effectiveness of integrating the prevention, diagnosis, management and reporting interventions of three common NTDs into Ethiopia’s primary healthcare system.
