Optimising large-scale public health interventions to control Neglected Tropical Diseases

被忽视的热带病是一组影响最贫穷者的健康状况，特别是在偏远和农村地区。它们影响到最脆弱的社区，造成严重的慢性健康损害，损害个人和社会发展。在偏远的土著社区和太平洋岛屿，几种使人衰弱的NTD很常见。我提出了一系列的研究，以探讨新的战略，以控制NTD在大人群中，这些疾病是地方性的。

Neglected tropical diseases (NTD) are a group of health conditions that affect the poorest of the poor, particularly in remote and rural areas. They affect the most vulnerable communities and cause substantial, chronic health harms impairing personal and social development. Several debilitating NTD are common in remote indigenous communities and Pacific islands. I propose a series of studies to investigate new strategies to control NTD in large populations where these diseases are endemic.
