DNTDs – The German Network Against NTDs

The year 2012, when the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases was issued, was a decisive for the founding of the German Network against Neglected Tropical Diseases (DNTDs). The idea for a common platform emerged after a workshop in Berlin for experts on world health and representatives from pharmaceutical companies. During the workshop the attendees discussed strategies for better cooperation and greater involvement of the private sector in fighting neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).
