This year marks nearly a decade of progress since the foundations for DNDi were set forth at a remarkable meeting in Rio in 2002. Just nine years later, we come together again to review DNDi’s progress in bringing new treatments to neglected patients as well as to evaluate the main challenges in access to new tools.

This meeting gave participants the opportunity to engage in DNDi’s activities and expanding partnerships in the region.
