Programmes will need to adapt planning and delivery of MDAs and other interventions to communities to minimise the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The shift to door-to-door activities may further strain already limited financial and human resources, making it essential for programmes to explore adaptations to help reduce costs. There may also be opportunities to […]
The pandemic gives us an opportunity to reassess how NTD activities are conducted and evaluate how to improve and optimize them. One example is the use of digital tools and data layers to improve microplanning for MDA and overcome inefficiencies of using paper treatment registers, maps, and outdated population denominator data. Many of these tools […]
The disruption to NTD activities caused by COVID-19 may adversely affect progress towards the 2030 NTD Roadmap targets. In order to maintain momentum, we must mitigate the impact of the pandemic on existing programmes and identify modified intervention strategies. There may also be opportunities to accelerate progress, especially in those communities where NTD infection levels […]
