Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) can cause significant disabilities and even death. These diseases affect more than 1.6 billion people worldwide, primarily among the most vulnerable communities. Access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services plays a critical role in the prevention, management, and care of NTDs.
