WHO: Ending the neglect to attain the sustainable development goals: a strategic framework for integrated control and management of skin-related neglected tropical diseases, June 2022

18 June, 2022

Dear All,

I am glad to share a copy of the recent WHO publication June 2022 on "Ending the neglect to attain the sustainable development goals: a strategic framework for integrated control and management of skin-related neglected tropical diseases".

One access the publication from the following link.

https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240051423

This strategic framework was prepared as a companion document to the NTD road map 2021-2030. Its goal is to assist endemic countries in reducing the morbidity, disability and psycho-social impacts of skin NTDs and other skin conditions through integration of various activities to achieve 2030 goals of leprosy and other NTDs.

I hope the members will find it useful.

All the best. Regards,

Dr. CR Revankar
