Great news for the fight against #NeglectedTropicalDiseases

On 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲, we are reminded that “neglected” often means underfunded, overlooked, and hardest on communities with the least power.

Drugs are available to treat schistosomiasis and other #NeglectedTropicalDiseases (NTDs). So why are almost 1.5 billion people still affected by them? Our colleague, Dr. Eun Seok Kim, an infectious disease physician, explains why drugs aren't enough—and what it will take to #BeatNTDs #WorldNTDDDAY
Today is the World NTD day!

World Leprosy Day 2026 reminds us of a simple truth.
Leprosy is curable. The real challenge is stigma.
Despite effective treatment, fear and discrimination continue to delay care and drive preventable disability.

#Trachoma is the world's leading cause of blindness, but like other #NeglectedTropicalDiseases it could be eliminated with enough political will.
The December 2025 issue of The Lancet Regional Health - Americas is now available online: lnkd.in/gf4aXrfm
