| مستخلص: |
This article discusses the importance of sustaining the gains achieved by national neglected tropical disease (NTD) programs. NTDs affect over 1 billion people globally and have a significant impact on healthcare systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. While progress has been made in eliminating NTDs through interventions like mass drug administration, it is crucial to continue surveillance to detect any disease recurrence. The article emphasizes the need for countries to increase domestic investment and ownership of their NTD programs and highlights the importance of building capacity to mobilize domestic resources. The authors propose concrete steps and recommendations to enhance political will, engage business and civil society, and create a community of country partners to support effective resource mobilization efforts.
