IMA World Health

IMA World Health has been working to address NTDs for more than 20 years in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. IMA World Health projects primarily target five NTDs that cause the greatest morbidity and mortality: lymphatic filariasis (LF), onchocerciasis (known as River Blindness), trachoma, schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminths (STH). IMA has also addressed visceral leishmaniasis, commonly known as kala-azar, in endemic areas within South Sudan.
