As the world unites today to recognise the World Neglected Tropical Day, it has never been more critical for all our partners to intensify efforts to end neglected tropical disease. More than 1.7 billion people in the world still require regular preventative treatment for NTDs.
As the world unites today to recognise the World Neglected Tropical Day, it has never been more critical for all our partners to intensify efforts to end neglected tropical diseases. More than 1.7 billion people in the world still require regular preventative treatment for NTDs. They also affect more than 1.7 billion people around the world.
The social impacts of disease elimination, including reductions in disease-related anxiety and pain, are equally important. When these social benefits are weighed alongside the gains associated with cured and avoided NTD cases, the cumulative benefit to the Nigerian economy is much greater. Increased productivity and freed-up time of caregivers, for example, would help contribute up to $25bn to the Nigerian economy from 2023 to 2030.
The targets set by the WHO cannot be achieved by any one actor. Public-private partnerships are essential to help detect, treat, prevent, and eliminate NTDs; thereby playing an increasingly active role in driving change in Nigeria. Some of these partnerships to have been driven by the private sector include IHS Nigeria, which invested $50,000 to date to address common NTDs in Ekiti.
