Flashback: World NTD Day in Ghana, 2020
At the first annual World Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) Day in 2020, Ghanaians took to the streets to raise the visibility of Neglected Tropical Diseases.
Each year on January 30, World NTD Day serves as a time to increase awareness of NTDs, and an opportunity to re-energize the momentum to end the suffering from these diseases that are caused by a variety of pathogens including viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and toxins.
The day also provides an opportunity to focus on the millions of people who have limited or no access to prevention, treatment and care services.
