AMON, JOSEPH J.; ADDISS, DAVID G.
- Abstract
An introduction to the journal is presented that focuses on how rights interact with neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and how NTD programs respect, protect, and promote human rights including how human rights intersect with NTD control and elimination efforts, how a lymphatic filariasis program in the Dominican Republic has managed to overcome discriminatory government policies to reach at-risk individuals, and human rights violations that cause and are caused by podoconiosis in Ethiopia.
