World Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) Day is observed every year on January 30th. This day commemorates key milestones in the fight against NTDs, including the launch of the first WHO roadmap for NTDs and the 2012 London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases. The theme for this year, “Unite, Act, and Eliminate NTDs,” calls for collective action, collaboration, and reflection on the progress made toward eliminating these diseases. The observance of this day is vital in raising awareness about NTDs, which affect millions of people, particularly in poverty-stricken regions.
