More than one billion people around the world are affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). NTDs mostly occur in tropical climates and disproportionately affect people who are already vulnerable, whether due to poverty or marginalization. These diseases are neglected because they are not profitable to research, so there is too little research for better treatments and diagnostics. 

As part of our work developing urgently needed treatments for people with neglected diseases, World NTD Day is an important moment for us to raise awareness.

Help us raise awareness!

Join our social media campaign raising awareness of people with neglected tropical diseases and the need for innovation to develop better treatments.
