On June 12–13, health authorities, pharma industry, donors, implementing partners, academia and patients’ associations will meet at #WHO to discuss action towards a world free of #NeglectedTropicalDiseases . #StrongerTogether #Towards2030 #EndingNTDs2030 #EndingtheNeglect
Interventions for #NeglectedTropicalDiseases are targeted to reach the most underprivileged communities in the world, and are often the only contact these communities have with health services, thus closing gaps in #UniversalHealthCoverage . #StrongerTogether #Towards2030
End #NeglectedTropicalDiseases with stronger country leadership, more cooperation among partners to bring coherence to interventions, more funding, more R&D and more strategic advocacy in support of the #NTD road map 2021–2030. #StrongerTogether #Towards2030 #EndingNTDs2030

Despite the fact that many NTDs are preventable and treatable with existing, low-cost interventions, they often receive little attention and funding due to lack of awareness and limited resources.
