To prevent, control, and eliminate neglected tropical diseases, it is essential that health actions are integrated, sustainable, and designed with a people and community-centered focus, respecting diverse ways of life.
On World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day 2025, under the theme: Involving Communities: A Hands-On Approach to Neglected Diseases, PAHO calls on governments, health workers, cooperation agencies, and community and civil organizations to unite and take action to eliminate these infections.
