Barriers to child development and human potential: The case for including the Neglected Enteric Protozoa (NEP) and other enteropathy-associated pathogens in the NTDs Bartelt, L. A. et al. (2013)
The World Health Organization (WHO) has set forth ambitious efforts to control, and where possible, eliminate the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that contribute to poverty and "impair the ability of those infected to achieve their full potential, both developmentally and socioeconomically".
This neglected disease initiative's(NDI)purpose has been to close the existing poverty gap between individuals living in low/middle-income and high-income countries, and thus facilitate the achievement of the 2000 Millennium Developmental Goals. The gap is still large. Yet, some marked achievements of the NDI give hope that the WHO's NTD paradigm, are proving beneficial.
