Targeted Diseases

                    Global Health: A 'Rapid Impace Package' of donated medicines is available
                    to treate the 7 most common NTDs for about 50 cents per person per year. 
                    Our challenge is to reach the people who need it most as fast as
                     possible.

Targeted mass drug administration can control seven of the most prevalent NTDs. When treatment is provided to at-risk populations annually over successive years, these diseases may be eliminated or reduced to an extent that they no longer pose a public health threat.


  • Onchocerciasis
  • Schistosomiasis
  • Trachoma
  • Lymphatic Filariasis
  • Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (whipworm, hookwom, roundworm)
