Elimination of Neglected Tropical Diseases National MasterPlan 2019-2023
This master plan is intended to guide Zambia, and all other donors and partners, to work together to systematically and progressively, strengthen various weaknesses existing in key programmatic areas and/or contribute to enhancing relevant health system components so that universal and equitable access to essential NTD interventions and services, particularly in hard-to-reach marginalized populations, is achieved and control and elimination of NTDs are accelerated.
The vision of the Zambia free from NTDs is achieved through twin goals:
1) Achieve and sustain the status of elimination of NTDs targeted in resolutions of the World Health Assembly, namely yaws, rabies, schistosomiasis, trachoma, lymphatic filariasis and leprosy.
2) Achieve and sustain control of other NTDs and alleviate suffering from NTD-associated morbidity and disabilities.
As a Government there is an urgent need to apply the most appropriate strategies considering the available resources and challenges towards the implementation of all activities and programmes
