دانلود کتاب Sustaining the Drive to Overcome the Global Impact of Neglected Tropical Diseases: Second WHO Report on Neglected Tropical Diseases

This second WHO report on neglected tropical diseases marks a new phase and assesses opportunities and obstacles in the control, elimination and eradication of several diseases. Progress over the past two years has revealed unprecedented needs for refinements in control strategies, and new technical tools and protocols. The substantial increases in donations of medicines made since the previous report call for innovations that simplify and refine delivery strategies.Innovations in vector control deserve more attention as playing a key part in reducing transmission and disease burden, especially for Dengue, Chagas disease and the Leishmaniases.Achieving universal health coverage with essential health interventions for neglected tropical diseases will be a powerful equalizer that abolishes distinctions between the rich and the poor, the young and the old, ethnic groups, and women and men.
