Скачать или смотреть Five Billion Mectizan Treatments: The Power of Partnership

This year we’re celebrating 5 billion Mectizan treatments donated for countries fighting river blindness and lymphatic filariasis. The 1987 donation of Mectizan by Merck* for river blindness sparked one of global health's most successful public-private partnerships. Collaboration among governments, NGOs, WHO, donors, and endemic communities eventually led to the inclusion of NTDs in UN Sustainable Development Goal 3.3: “end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases, and other communicable diseases by 2030.” Millions are no longer at risk of developing these devastating diseases. See how the power of partnership drives real-world results.
