Targeted Diseases

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 helminthes (whipworm, hookwom, roundworm)
