Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are a group of infectious diseases that primarily affect people in tropical and subtropical regions. These diseases often thrive in areas with poor sanitation, limited access to clean water, and inadequate healthcare. Common NTDs include dengue fever, schistosomiasis, and leprosy, which can cause significant suffering and disability. Despite their impact, NTDs receive less attention and funding compared to other diseases like HIV/AIDS or malaria. This neglect can lead to a cycle of poverty, as affected individuals may struggle to work or care for their families. Efforts to combat NTDs focus on improving healthcare access, education, and sanitation to help those in need.
