1st Conference on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) 2025
Thank you!
Thank you for your interest in the 1st Neglected Tropical Diseases Conference 2025!
This program was integrated into the 19th INTEREST Conference on the Day 1 program.
It was offered as 1 hour-long session focused on the interplay between NTDs and HIV, including the clinical implications of co-infections, and the intersection of public health strategies.
About This Program
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) affect more than 1 billion people, with a disproportionally high disease burden in children and women. NTDs are prevalent in impoverished regions and hard-to-reach communities, thus their control requires an integrated and cross-cutting approach to tackle associated structural and socio-economic challenges.
The abstract-driven conference proposes a platform to disseminate new advancements, real-world data, implementation challenges, and novel governing models to discuss and generate solutions for cross-cutting topics and ultimately reduce the disease burden and societal impact of NTDs.This proposal supports the progress in foundational pillars of the WHO Roadmap by facilitating evidence-based program implementation, leveraging the cross-cutting approach, and providing a forum to discuss a paradigm shift toward country ownership of elimination programs.
The program will consist of invited lectures, oral abstract & poster presentations, a debate, skill-building sessions, panel discussions, and sponsored symposia.
