World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day 2026: “These diseases are
not just numbers—they represent people and communities who must
not be left behind.”
PAHO estimates that more than 200 million people in the Region
of the Americas are affected by one or more NTDs, including
Chagas disease, leprosy, leishmaniasis, trachoma,
schistosomiasis, and others that disproportionately impact
vulnerable and underserved populations. These diseases usually
carry a heavy health, social, and economic burden, and often
cause lifelong disability, stigma, and hardship.
