Abstract This book chapter focuses on GNNTDC support for the cause of integrated disease control. GNNTDC is made up of eight well-established and based at the Sabin Vaccine Institute in Washington, DC. Communication members are George Washington University, Earth Institute at Columbia University, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Helen Keller International, the International Trachoma Initiative, Schistosomiasis Child Survival and Development Working Group and Control Initiative. Collectively, they have already put in place a plan to implement integrated drug management programs across sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract The World Health Organization has developed guidelines for counseling national ministries on how best to control schistosomiasis using MDA as a main tool. It also seeks to determine how often to perform treatment and for whom depends on the level of infection in the community. In the past, because limited resources (including the availability of praziquantel), each national government is encouraged to broaden its agenda to find a balance between the frequency of treatment and the use and cost of a rare drug. This chapter discusses schistosomiasis control and elimination strategies.

Abstract Few can deny that a nation's health is inextricably linked with its economic condition. Therefore, it is not surprising to find that those who live with less than two dollars a day is ravaged by illness and can hope to make a living. This book chapter focuses on the six countries selected to support SCI in 2003 demonstrating poorest of the poor.

Abstract Public health in sub-Saharan Africa, even after COVID-19, has reached a critical mass that promises positive change for nearly a billion poorest in the world. This change is driven by the expansion interested in "neglected tropical diseases" or NTDs, ironically called, and the success of the built-in control programs for them. Now the removal of the disease in 2030, most consumers are in the spotlight due to continued community support: private partnerships for drug funding from pharmaceutical companies, bilateral sponsors (UK and US), fundraising organisations (GiveWell, GWWC, The END Fund), implementing NGOs (RTI, SCI, GAELF) and ministries of education and health care in endemic countries. There's still a lot of work to do resulted in elimination, but the word "forgotten" in the context of the tropics illness may no longer be true. NTD has since been practically unknown in the 20th century outside the poor and rural areas of the world, to a situation where, at the beginning of the 21st century, more than a billion treatments were performed each year.
即使在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)之后,撒哈拉以南非洲的公共卫生已达到临界质量,有望为世界上近10亿最贫困人口带来积极变化。推动这一变化的因素是对“被忽视的热带病”(被讽刺地称为“被忽视的热带病”)的兴趣扩大,以及针对这些疾病的内置控制规划取得了成功。如今,该疾病已于2030年消除,由于持续的社区支持,大多数消费者受到关注:来自制药公司的药品资金私人伙伴关系、双边赞助商(英国和美国)、筹款组织(GiveWell、GWWC、the END Fund)、实施非政府组织(RTI、SCI、GAELF)以及流行国家的教育和卫生保健部门。为了消除这种疾病,还有很多工作要做,但在热带疾病的背景下,“被遗忘”这个词可能不再正确。自那以后,在20世纪,在世界贫困和农村地区之外,NTD几乎不为人所知,而在21世纪初,每年进行的治疗超过10亿次。

Abstract Not all cases are extreme, but only a small percentage of the estimate 200 million people infected with schistosomiasis in Africa suffer this fate. Schistosomiasis eggs accumulate and damage organs slowly, day after day, without their function being impaired, up until it's too late. Usually, it is only then that symptoms become apparent and schistosomiasis is diagnosed. This book chapter focuses on campaigns focused on schistosomiasis control and prevention.
