Together, We Can Combat NTDs
Join us on 30 January 2022, for the third annual World NTD Day.
World NTD Day serves as a catalyst to translate awareness into action, secure increased resources for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and crucially facilitate political leadership and ownership of NTD programmes from affected countries.
An Energising Global Movement
From World NTD Day to CHOGM in 2022, the movement aims to mobilise political will and secure commitments to eliminate NTDs and achieve the goals in WHO’s NTD Roadmap 2021-2030.
One of WHO’s overarching targets is for at least 100 countries to have eliminated at least one NTD.
The movement will be led by countries affected, backed by bold financial and political commitments, championed by civil society, influencers and people affected calling for action.
Light up the World
Join us on World NTD Day 2022 as we Light Up the World in an effort to combat NTDs and ensure a brighter future for all.
