Resumen
Descripción
Neglected Tropical Diseases are a group of 18 parasitic, viral and bacterial infections
that are endemic to 47 countries in Africa. These diseases, negatively impact the world’s poorest and most vulnerable. The diseases can cause disabilities that may in turn have a detrimental impact on a country’s economic productivity. This brief provides an overview of the burden of NTDs in Madagascar, and opportunities to integrate prevention and control activities in active World Bank projects.
