Synopsis

Despite enormous technical and scientific advances in medicine, neglected tropical diseases continue to be a major challenge in many regions of the world. As a result, the health systems of developing countries are overwhelmed by a double burden of disease, one represented by common health problems and another represented by these diseases. This situation generates wear and tear in all system components, making it ineffective, but also causes the gaps in health to become increasingly larger. This book provides general information on the problem of neglected tropical diseases. It is a current and updated reference to the problem in question that provides examples of the way in which health systems deal with neglected tropical diseases by seeking innovative solutions.
