- Abstract
The article presents a debate on various approaches that address neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in the U.S. and British Columbia. Jerry Spiegel and colleagues from the University of British Columbia view the significance of diverting proportion of research funding to tackle social determinants of NTDs than focusing on drug development for NTDs. In contrast, Peter Hotez and colleagues stress that the best return on investment will continue to be integrated drug administration for NTDs.
