Involving communities.
A hands-on approach to neglected diseases
30 JANUARY 2025
On World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day, PAHO calls on governments, health workers, cooperation agencies, and community and civil organizations, which play an important role in collective efforts to eliminate and control these infections, to work on comprehensive health actions focused on populations and communities.
Involve individuals and communities. It is essential to strengthen communities in order to leave installed capacities, ensuring that people are at the center of sustainable actions. A key action is to highlight the importance of giving people and communities a voice in the construction of actions that respect different ways of life.
