About the Neglected Tropical Diseases Course SeriesNeglected Tropical Diseases
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are mainly prevalent in tropical areas, where they affect impoverished, underserved communities. They cause devastating health, social and economic consequences. WHO estimates that more than 1.6 billion people require treatment for at least one NTD every year.
The OpenWHO NTD channel offers learning resources to support implementation of prevention, control, elimination or eradication activities against 21 conditions or groups of conditions, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the overarching, cross-cutting and disease-specific targets included in the NTD road map 2021-2030. In pursuit of the goal of achieving health for all, the channel also includes courses on non-NTDs, notably skin-NTDs, given their importance for differential diagnosis and related case management.
