100% committed to ending NTDs
We are a global advocacy organisation that exists to end neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) by mobilising resources in support of the World Health Organization's NTD road map and the Sustainable Development Goals. We envision a world where no-one suffers from these preventable and treatable diseases.
We work with over 150 partners around the world to create the political will and an enabling environment for change to collectively address the NTD crisis. Together, we champion investment for NTDs.
History
Uniting to Combat NTDs was established following the signing of the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in 2012, when a diverse group of stakeholders came together with one objective: beating NTDs. Today, this partnership has grown but continues to consist of academic and research organisations, governments, non-governmental organisations, pharmaceutical companies and philanthropic foundations.
