Webinar: Neglected Tropical Diseases and COVID-19

WHO will host a webinar on NTDs and COVID-19 on June 17th from 14:00-16:00 CET.
COVID-19 is set to change the landscape of global public health, with long-lasting economic and social impacts necessitating changes in approaches to tackling neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) that may include rethinking resources and programmatic orientation. The webinar will consist of two panels:

Panel One: discuss the shifts needed during post-COVID-19 recovery to achieve the road map targets for 2030 and consider how the global community can build on and use innovative approaches to sustain the progress made thus far.
Panel Two: explore how to align and coordinate work with countries and stakeholders; enhance multisectoral coordination to achieve the global targets; and, examine the role of health workers and volunteers across various interventions.
