Neglected infectious diseases include some of the world’s most common and debilitating conditions. Flatworm and other parasite infections affect millions, typically the poorest populations, and disrupt the growth and development of countless children in sub-Saharan Africa. For many, new treatments are becoming available, but a key challenge is getting them to populations in need.
