Unite. Act. Eliminate.

On World Neglected Tropical Disease Day 2024, WHO is calling on everybody, including leaders and communities, to unite and act to address the inequalities that drive neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and to make bold, sustainable investments to free the estimated 1.62 billion people, in the world’s most vulnerable communities, from a vicious cycle of disease and poverty.

World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day - observed every year on 30 January – aims to spread awareness on the neglected tropical diseases, a diverse group of 21 conditions that are mainly prevalent in tropical areas.
