However, in sharp contrast to how curable they are, 1.7 billion people still suffer their effects, and few of the general public elsewhere are aware of the terrible socioeconomic problem they present.
In this episode I discuss what neglected tropical diseases are, how they devastate communities, and why they persist despite the effective treatments available. Then I shift to a message of hope, documenting the work of the past and ending with faith in global collaboration.
