8 THIRD WHO REPORT ON NEGLECTED TROPICAL DISEASES *** 1.6 NTDs, Sustainable Development Goals and the case for investment In September 2013, a United Nations panel recommended that measures be accelerated to end extreme poverty by 2030 (7). “Neglected tropical diseases” are mentioned in lieu of “other diseases” in recognition of the immense suffering they inflict on poor populations. The Chairman of the WHO Strategic and Technical Advisory Group for Neglected Tropical Diseases commented in a 2014 correspondence published in the Lancet: Access to NTD interventions is an integral part of universal health coverage. Their positive effect in gains for healthy life and reduction in catastrophic health expenditure represent a route out of poverty for households. Access to NTD interventions also reduces financial burden on health systems in almost all countries. Control and elimination of NTDs are sensitive indicators of both poverty alleviation and universal health coverage, and are representative of how developing countries care for the health of the poorest sections of their populations (8). The inclusion of NTDs provides evidence of the growing political will to address these diseases. Their positioning alongside other, better-known global public-health issues is an important milestone for the global health community. Without decisive action to address NTDs, they will remain neglected and continue to pose a barrier to ending extreme poverty. The task to overcoming the neglected diseases of neglected populations is challenging – requiring a serious investment strategy. Chapter 2 analyses this case, providing investment targets to match the Roadmap’s targets for 2020 and universal coverage against NTDs by 2030.
