Number of people requiring interventions against neglected tropical diseases

Number of people requiring treatment and care for any one of the NTDs targeted by the WHO NTD Roadmap and World Health Assembly resolutions and reported to WHO. Treatment and care is broadly defined to allow for preventive, curative, surgical or rehabilitative treatment and care. Other interventions (e.g. vector management, veterinary public health, water, sanitation and hygiene, disease surveillance, morbidity management and disability prevention) are to be addressed in the context of targets and indicators for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and universal access to water and sanitation.
