Programmes, partnerships, and governance for elimination and control of neglected tropical diseases

Lancet
Bernhard LieseAlexander Schratz

Abstract

Neglected tropical diseases represent one of the most serious burdens to public health. Many can be treated cost-effectively, yet they have been largely ignored on the global health policy agenda until recently. In this first paper in the Series we review the fragmented structure of elimination and control programmes for these diseases, starting with the ambiguous definition of a neglected tropical disease. We describe selected international control initiatives and present their effect, governance arrangements, and financing mechanisms, including substantial drug-donation programmes. We also discuss efforts to exploit shared features of these diseases by integration of selected control activities within countries, thus creating economies of scope. Finally we address the challenges, resulting from the diversity of disease control approaches and governance structures-both nationally and internationally-and provide some suggestions for the way forward.
