Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), an important focus of US global health assistance, may come under scrutiny as the 112th Congress debates spending levels for ongoing global health programs. This book examines the background, responses and issues for Congress relating to Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).

Over the past decade, global health has become a priority in U.S. foreign policy, and U.S. funding for related efforts has more than tripled. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), an important focus of U.S. global health assistance, may come under scrutiny as the 112th Congress debates spending levels for ongoing global health programs. Estimates indicate that some 2 billion people are at risk of contracting an NTD, of whom more than 1 billion people are afflicted with one or more. This book examines the background, responses and issues for Congress relating to Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), while identifying research gaps and opportunities.
