World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day, 30 January 2026
The World Health Assembly (WHA) formalized 30 January as a day to create better awareness on the devastating impact of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) on the poorest populations around the world. The day is also an opportunity to call on everyone to support the growing momentum for the control, elimination and eradication of these diseases. We would like to recommend some related articles, Special Issues, and journals in the field of medicine & pharmacology as suitable communication platforms for you. We believe that sharing research like this can help raise awareness of NTDs.
