WHO launches Skin NTD Framework

“Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a strategic framework for integrated control and management of skin relatedneglectedtropical diseases” is a document designed to support the WHO 2030 NTD eradication targets.

It was written in collaboration with a group of independent experts, including Dr Fuller supported by an extensive global consultation. It aims to assist endemic countries in reducing morbidity, disability and psychosocial impacts of skin NTDs including podoconiosis through a people-centred approach by identifying areas, key partners and resources for integration as well as systems to embed interventions within national programmes and facilitate country ownership. Grouping the skin-related diseases will improve prospects for combining activities to detect and treat two or more diseases simultaneously.
