The World Health Organization on Monday called for greater investment in combating neglected tropical diseases, which left more than 1.6 billion people, often in least-developed countries, requiring treatment in 2021.

NTDs are a diverse group of conditions, found mainly in tropical regions, that include dengue, leprosy and rabies.

Soce Fall, director of the WHO's NTDs department, said they had been neglected precisely because they did not affect developed countries. But 16 countries account for 80 percent of the global NTD burden. They include the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Tanzania.As of December, 47 countries had eradicated at least one NTD, with eight certified as having eliminated one in 2022 alone.
