Conference on Neglected Tropical Diseases 2024
November 14-16, 2024, Nairobi; Kenya.
The 1st edition of the Conference on Neglected Tropical Diseases, organized by AME is tentatively scheduled from 14-16 November in Nairobi, Kenya, as a hybrid meeting. The abstract-driven conference proposes a platform to disseminate new advancements, real-world data, implementation challenges, and novel governing models to discuss and generate solutions for cross-cutting topics and ultimately reduce the disease burden and societal impact of NTDs. This proposal supports the progress in foundational pillars of the WHO Roadmap by facilitating evidence-based program implementation, leveraging the cross-cutting approach, and providing a forum to discuss a paradigm shift toward country ownership of elimination programs.
