New WHO regional strategy supports Indonesia’s mission to end NTDs by 2030

The WHO Regional Strategic Framework for sustaining, accelerating and innovating to end neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in the South-East Asia Region 2024–2030 adopts a comprehensive, people-centred approach to end NTDs, a diverse group of conditions that are mainly prevalent among impoverished communities in tropical areas.   

Across Indonesia, the Framework continues to inform NTD activities and planning. The country’s forthcoming Medium-Term Development Plan 2025-2029 prioritizes the elimination of three skin-related NTDs – LF, leprosy and yaws – and aims to control dengue and rabies.
