The International Society for Neglected Tropical Diseases is an independent and not-for-profit organisation providing a multidisciplinary global platform to alleviate the burden of NTDs on the world's poorest and most vulnerable, with the ultimate goal of reaching sustainable healthcare provision & poverty reduction.
This goal cannot be achieved without strengthening the ties between all the parties already involved in NTD alleviation.
Membership is open to all with an interest in NTDs and global health and starts from £30 annually.
More information on the society and membership can be found at www.isntd.org
ISNTD Coinfections brings together experts in NTDs and other diseases - including HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria - who will be addressing the latest developments in these fields and their impact on NTD control.
The aim is to improve the delivery of healthcare in NTD afflicted countries by integrating disease prevention and cure programmes across diseases.
Emphasis will be placed on strongly developing the interconnect between disciplines to foster new approaches and partnerships to NTD alleviation and poverty reduction.
By addressing coinfection as a state in its own right, we want to move towards real gains in health and life experiences by being patient-focused rather than disease focused.
