Public Health Insight
An Introduction to Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs)
If you found out that there was a set of diseases that affected one in five people around the world and disproportionately affected those living in extreme poverty - maybe you would guess it was due to the big three communicable diseases such as HIV, malaria and tuberculosis, or maybe you would think of noncommunicable diseases like cancer. The reality is you may not have even heard of them because they are considered neglected. Two experts - Dr. Alison Krentel and Maneesh Phillip - join the Public Health Insight Podcast to have a conversation to raise awareness about Neglected Tropical Diseases, otherwise known as NTDs, which contributes significantly to the global burden of disease.
