  3. Macro-Time Table of Global Health ( HTM related )

  4. We need clear picture

  5. What are neglected tropical diseases? • 17 diseases that are prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas in Africa, Asia and South America • Mainly affect populations who are living in poverty, in areas where sanitationis lacking and who have close contact with infectiousvectors • Diseases for which research and development for treatment lags behind because those affected cannot afford new medicines • Perpetuate poverty because they retard growth, cause chronic morbidity and disability, and generate social stigma

  6. Strategic approaches for NTD control Transmission control Integrated vector management Veterinary public health Water and environmental sanitation Behavioural change education Intensified case management, surgery and chronic care African trypanosomiasis Buruli ulcer Chagas Disease Dengue Echinococcosis Leishmaniasis Leprosy Lymphatic filariasis Rabies Schistosomiasis Trachoma Yaws Preventive chemotherapy [Link with other Rapid Impact Interventions and their delivery channels] Soil-transmitted helminthiases Schistosomiasis Lymphatic filariasis Onchocerciasis Trachoma Foodborne trematode infections Cysticercosis Dracunculiasis eradication

  7. Relationship between the four strategic directions for a global response to HIV

  8. An example of geographic overlap between HIV and NTD: the case of schistosomiasis * S. haematobium

  9. From Linking Global HIV/AIDS Treatments with National Programs for the Control and Elimination of the Neglected Tropical Diseases. Julie Noblick, Richard Skolnik, Peter J. Hotez

  10. Operational synergies: universal coverageFrom Julie Noblick, Richard Skolnik, Peter J. Hotez

  11. Challenges and Approaches • Challenges • More biomedical evidence to establish a case • Service delivery model • Resource competition • Approaches • Advocacy • Technical Assistance • Strategic Information

  12. Proposed priorities for action • WHO and its Member States give high priority to HIV, Tb, Malaria and NTDs: WHA Resolution for Policy Plat Form. • Improved clinical management of co-infection: visceral leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, helminthiasis • Control and eliminate schistosomiasis to reduce risk of transmission • Document the cost-effectiveness of linking NTD and HIV interventions • Flexible approaches to increase access to diagnostic and treatment for vulnerable populations. • Global Monitoring for strategic investment ( Second NTD Report )
