20th-22nd April 2017, Geneva, Switzerland

MYT supported Uniting to Combat NTDs with it’s first ever NTD summit in 2017, working with the support centre on the Delegate Logistics.  The Summit was attended by more than 700 delegates.

2017 marked the 5th anniversary of the World Health Organization’s roadmap on NTDs and the London Declaration. To celebrate this milestone, Uniting to Combat NTDs, the World Health Organization and the NTD community hosted the NTD Summit in Geneva, Switzerland in April.

The summit celebrated the community’s achievements over the past 5 years and planned for the future as they aim to control, eliminate and eradicate 10 neglected tropical diseases. The summit included technical discussions with partners to define a clear path towards the 2020 goals and beyond.
