Abstract

Onchocerciasis is among the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) responsible for dermatological, ophthalmological, and neurological manifestations. With the ongoing burden of onchocerciasis clinical manifestations, morbidity management, and disability prevention services are required to alleviate the suffering of the affected populations. Unfortunately, despite the ongoing transmission of onchocerciasis, morbidity management, and disability prevention services are limited in Tanzania. Therefore, this article highlights the concept of onchocerciasis morbidity management and disability prevention, along with the significance of its adoption in the healthcare system in Tanzania. We further provide recommendations on where and how to start.

将盘尾丝虫病发病率管理和残疾预防服务纳入坦桑尼亚医疗保健系统:行动呼吁和建议。
盘尾丝虫病是被忽视的热带病(NTD)之一,可引起皮肤病、眼病和神经病。由于盘尾丝虫病的临床表现、发病率管理和残疾预防服务对减轻受影响人群的痛苦造成了持续的负担。遗憾的是,尽管盘尾丝虫病仍在传播,但坦桑尼亚的发病率管理和残疾预防服务却十分有限。因此,本文强调了盘尾丝虫病发病率管理和残疾预防的概念,以及在坦桑尼亚医疗保健系统中采用这一概念的意义。我们还就从哪里以及如何开始提供了建议。

Given the changes in demographic trends of travelers globally, as well as the epidemiological transitions which many countries are experiencing, the journal considers non-infectious problems including chronic disease among target populations of interest as well as infectious diseases.
