一系列政策文件中的第一份已经发表了三年，该文件首先强调了被忽视的热带病的全球负担，然后概述了将七种最流行的热带病的纵向控制战略与具有成本效益的扶贫预防性化疗方案联系起来的理由。自那时以来，全球对这些疾病的宣传有所增加，并因此获得了新的资金，用于在撒哈拉以南非洲扩大综合NTD控制。世界卫生组织总干事最近在区域会议上的发言中提到NTD是重要的全球卫生优先事项（www.who.int/dg/speeches/2007）。本文概述了全球在整合NTD控制方面的最新进展，并强调了未来的挑战。
Three years have passed since the publication of the first of a series of policy papers, which first highlighted the under-appreciated global burden of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and then outlined a rationale for linking vertical control strategies for the seven most prevalent NTDs in a cost-effective pro-poor package of preventive chemotherapy. Since then, global advocacy for these conditions has increased and, with it, new funds for scale-up of integrated NTD control in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent speeches by the Director General of the World Health Organization at regional meetings have referred to NTDs as important global health priorities (www.who.int/dg/speeches/2007). Outlined here is a summary of the recent progress in global efforts to integrate NTD control, with an emphasis on the challenges that lie ahead.
