The year 2016 marked the 10th year anniversary of the USAID Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) Program. Over 10 years the NTD Program supported the delivery of more than 1.6 billion treatments leveraging $11.1 billion in donated drugs in 31 countries. This program represents an outstanding example of what can be achieved through public-private partnerships. In 2006, the USAID NTD Program delivered 36 million treatments to people in need. As of 2016, the Program expanded to delivering 299 million treatments each year.
Over 300 global partners came together for a special event on September 30, 2016, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the USAID NTD Program.
