Neglected Tropical Diseases affect 1 in 5 people in the world

Neglected Tropical Diseases affect 1 in 5 people worldwide.
Affecting over 1.7 billion people, the Neglected Tropical Diseases impair physical and cognitive development, contribute to mother and child illness and death, make it difficult to farm or earn a living, and limit productivity in the workplace. As a result, Neglected Tropical Diseases trap the poor in a vicious cycle of poverty and disease.
R-Evolution Worldwide proudly collaborates with international stakeholders to end the Neglected Tropical Diseases and break this vicious cycle of poverty.

From 2003 at the forefront of supporting Sub-Saharan Africa’s response to poverty-related infectious diseases, EDCTP plays a key role also in the African response to Covid-19

The European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) is a public-public partnership between countries in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, supported by the European Union, which since 2003 has been accelerating the clinical development of new or improved medicines for the identification, treatment and prevention of poverty-related infectious diseases, is also at the forefront of supporting Sub-Saharan Africa’s response to COVID-19 https://bit.ly/2TDonGd idー19
