The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are the most common
infections of the world s poor, but few people know about these
diseases and why they are so important. This second edition of
"Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases" provides an overview of the
NTDs and how they devastate the poor, essentially trapping them in
a vicious cycle of extreme poverty by preventing them from working
or attaining their full intellectual and cognitive development.
Author Peter J. Hotez highlights a new opportunity to control
and perhaps eliminate these ancient scourges, through alliances
between nongovernmental development organizations and
private-public partnerships to create a successful environment for
mass drug administration and product development activities.
"Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases also" Addresses the myriad
changes that have occurred in the field since the previous edition.
Describes how NTDs have affected impoverished populations for
centuries, changing world history. Considers the future impact of
alliances between nongovernmental development organizations and
private-public partnerships.
Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases is an essential resource
for anyone seeking a roadmap to coordinate global advocacy and
mobilization of resources to combat NTDs. "
