We envision a world in which all at-risk people are healthy and free of intestinal worms so they can develop to their full potential.
Our work focuses on three pillars:
-
Country Support
We support and build the capacity of national STH programs to ensure effective and efficient delivery of interventions.
-
Partnerships & Advocacy
We build consensus among a broad group of stakeholders and seek to minimize duplication of efforts in advancing STH interventions.
-
Technical Leadership
We provide scientific leadership to advocate for evidence-based approaches for the control of intestinal worm infections.
We acknowledge the critical support of our core funding partners:

"We need a repository of information that resonates with the youth of today so that they can go out and help [to #beatNTDs more effectively]. There is a great opportunity to work with the @NTD_NGOs to create this repository." - @ThokoPooley, Dir. of @CombatNTDs

Great to hear the experience of Bangladesh Scouts @bdscouts, Uniting to Combat NTDs @CombatNTDs and the Canadian NTD Network @Can_NTDs on engaging youth on #NTDs and creating new ambassadors and leaders. As @ThokoPooley says: "Let’s consider young people as leaders for today!"
"The pandemic threatens to disrupt other urgent health challenges including NTDs. #COVID19... gives us an opportunity to think fresh about the world could and should be. It reminds us that health is not a luxury item. It is fundamental to development." - @DrTedros @WHO #beatNTDs
