Establishing targets and monitoring progress towards the elimination of STH as a public health problem
In 2001, the Fifty‐fourth World Health Assembly adopted resolution WHA54.19. Since then, WHO has periodically organized meetings with partners to establish detailed targets for the different groups at risk of morbidity due to STH.
WHO monitors overall progress in each country endemic for STH and reports on achievements. Progress is evaluated through the data submitted each year in the Joint Application Package, including data on the number of people treated during preventive chemotherapy campaigns and the results of impact surveys conducted during the reporting year.
