Optimising large-scale public health interventions to control Neglected Tropical Diseases [ 2018 - 2022 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Lucia Romani (Principal investigator)

Brief description Neglected tropical diseases (NTD) are a group of health conditions that affect the poorest of the poor, particularly in remote and rural areas. They affect the most vulnerable communities and cause substantial, chronic health harms impairing personal and social development. Several debilitating NTD are common in remote indigenous communities and Pacific islands. I propose a series of studies to investigate new strategies to control NTD in large populations where these diseases are endemic.
