    Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases: the Neglected Tropical Diseases and their Impact on Global Health and Development 2nd Edition

    by Peter J. Hotez  (Author)

     

    The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are the most common infections of the world’s poor, but few people know about these diseases and why they are so important. This second edition of Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseasesprovides an overview of the NTDs and how they devastate the poor, essentially trapping them in a vicious cycle of extreme poverty by preventing them from working or attaining their full intellectual and cognitive development.

    Author Peter J. Hotez highlights a new opportunity to control and perhaps eliminate these ancient scourges, through alliances between nongovernmental development organizations and private-public partnerships to create a successful environment for mass drug administration and product development activities. Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases also

    • Addresses the myriad changes that have occurred in the field since the previous edition.
    • Describes how NTDs have affected impoverished populations for centuries, changing world history.
    • Considers the future impact of alliances between nongovernmental development organizations and private-public partnerships.

    Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases is an essential resource for anyone seeking a roadmap to coordinate global advocacy and mobilization of resources to combat NTDs.
