Today is World Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) Day. Today’s aim is to increase global awareness of the 21 conditions, including scabies, that are recognised as NTDs. Please join us in marking today and increasing the awareness and actions to prevent and treat NTDs.

The World Scabies Program team in Kiribati have made a fantastic clip to celebrate the success of last year’s mass drug administration. It can be watched on our Facebook page here.
