Edinburgh global health experts are seeking to catalyse action to combat preventable diseases that affect around 1.5 billion people worldwide.
University researchers have jointly organised an exhibition to raise awareness of the urgent need to tackle so-called neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). This group of 21 disorders – which are widespread in some of the world’s poorest regions – lead to thousands of preventable deaths every year and help perpetuate cycles of poverty, researchers say.
On World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day, we are proud to present a compelling collection of photos, videos, and personal stories from individuals who have experienced the profound impact of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). This exhibition, hosted at the Royal Society of Edinburgh, has been created in collaboration with Uniting to Combat NTDs and the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

Our Affected Voices Meeting in Bindura, Zimbabwe was the first of its kind, putting NTD affected individuals at the centre of the meeting. In this meeting we aimed to address the following:
