"Last week, #WorldNTDDay underscored a simple truth: solutions to neglected tropical diseases exist but they persist when health systems can’t reach the last mile. Ending NTDs is one of the smartest investments in global health: every $1 delivers $25 in economic benefits." Dr. Ahmed OGWELL - FAPH

In 2024, about 1.4 billion people required interventions against neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), a 36% decrease from 2010.

Investing in neglected tropical diseases delivers extraordinary returns—and offers one of the most unprecedented opportunities in global health: eliminating diseases altogether.

This level of impact is rare, historic and within reach. #WorldNTDDay #BeatNTDs

Reflections on an Extraordinary Week for FGS at #TropMed25 As we wrap up 2025, we want to share one final reflection from #TropMed25. This year’s ASTMH meeting felt like a turning point for female genital schistosomiasis (FGS).

We're passionate about bridging gaps in FGS care to improve the lives of affected women and girls. We closed 2025 by aligning with partners on FGS priorities & are prepared for a pivotal 2026!

On #WorldNTDDay, we shine a light on female genital schistosomiasis (FGS). FGS is caused by a parasitic infection. It's easily treatable and preventable but often unrecognised & misdiagnosed, and many women receive the wrong treatment. Learn more here 🔗 bit.ly/FIG-schisto #BeatNTDs

Applying systems thinking can strengthen NTD programs and support sustainable elimination.

This #IJID article highlights how integrating NTD care into health systems improves coordination and impact.

#WorldNTDDay: Despite being preventable, #snakebite, a neglected tropical disease (#NTDs), kills 138,000 people each year and leaves many survivors with disabilities.

Our teams treat 500 to 1,000 cases annually. Urgent action and investment are needed: https://ow.ly/moHO50Y6zbU

On World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day, we highlight the importance of community-led, sustainable health action.

With Guinea Worm Eradication in Sight, a Celebration of a Humanitarian Legacy In the 1980s, UNICEF and partners took on Guinea worm, a debilitating parasitic disease. Joining them in that fight: former President Jimmy Carter.

We’re on the cusp of a huge global achievement. Guinea worm, a debilitating neglected tropical disease (NTD) spread through contaminated water, has nearly been eradicated.

For #WorldNTDDay, see how UNICEF, @cartercenter.bsky.social and partners are working with communities to cross the finish line:

Today, #WorldNTDDay, shines a spotlight on #NeglectedTropicalDiseases (#NTDs). By investing in biomedical research, it is possible to put an end to diseases that are preventable. 🧪

Neglected tropical diseases: the need for an integrated approach to achieve the 2030 roadmap - Nature Communications Neglected tropical diseases are ancient maladies that continue to disproportionately affect more than one billion of the world’s poorest people. In 2021, as part of its strategy to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the World Health Organization renewed its commitment to end their neglect by 2030. On World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day 2026, we discuss the need for an integrated approach to overcome the “last mile” barriers to achieving their eradication and elimination.
