It’s not too early to start planning for 30 January!

  • Bring partners together: World NTD Day is a perfect opportunity to strengthen bridges and channel our collective voice by hosting an event in-person or online. What makes the NTD community unique is not only the diverse number of important diseases represented; but also the strong partnerships formed across industry, civil society, government and more.
  • Add your perspective: Whether by spotlighting a lived experience, writing an opinion piece or sharing content on social media, now is the time to add your voice to the conversation and share why you’re working to #BeatNTDs. Every person affected by NTDs and every organization working to end them has a unique perspective to share.
  • Time your announcements to 30 January: Is your organization making an announcement on NTDs in early 2020? Announce it on World NTD Day and let us know about it by emailing hello@worldntdday.org.

Thank you for your support and stay tuned for more information!
