To create awareness on NTDs through sharing, publishing and fundamentally supporting research and related programs as a resource to fight NTDs
we are a supporting system toward the fight against Neglected tropical diseases (NTD’s).
NTD’S are a group of 13 infections caused by parasitic worms, protozoa, or bacteria. They mostly affect sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and America causing lifelong disability, disfigurement, reduced economic productivity, and social stigma.
NTDs account for approximately one quarter of the global disease burden from HIV/AIDS and almost the same burden as malaria (2020, FTA)
1. Share your original research and findings, discover new write ups on vector control, NTD’s and morbidity management by health scholars and enthusiasts so as to create more awareness and the know-how on NTD handling.
2. Source support and resources for research programs as a means of sustaining efficiency in the acts to end NTD’s
3. Diversely engage policy makers, organizations and communities in the struggle to fight against NTD’s.
4. Sustainably bridge communication gaps between partners.
