Skin NTDs: prioritizing integrated approaches to reduce suffering, psychosocial impact and stigmatization

WHO’s strategy to address neglected tropical diseases of the skin (also called skinNTDs) provides opportunities for the early detection, timely treatment, morbidity management and disability prevention of these conditions. The webinar on 21 October on ‘How do we tackle the skin NTDs to reach the 2030 NTD road map targets?’ discussed many aspects of these NTDs, with many speakers acknowledging opportunities and decisive actions to address these conditions. The results will be assessed by experts later this year.
