ISID-Neglected Tropical Disease Meeting
Over 1 billion of the world’s poorest people suffer from one or more NTDs that profoundly affect their lives. These diseases are termed "neglected" because, in spite of the great suffering they cause, only limited resources have been available to prevent and treat them even though some of the most common NTDs can be treated effectively at very low cost. Awareness about the problem of NTDs has grown over recent years. Governments, foundations and nonprofit organizations are increasingly taking notice and taking action. ISID aims to bring this community of providers and investigators together by organizing the first ISID-NTD meeting to encourage cross-discipline sharing of information related to combating NTDs as well as provide an opportunity to raise public awareness of the importance of NTDs around the world.
