Complex emergencies and the control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases in Africa: developing a practical approach for implementing safe and effective mapping and intervention strategies

Louise A. Kelly-Hope et al.

Summary: This study focused on developing a new methodological approach for decision-making on safe and effective mapping and mass drug administration (MDA) intervention strategies in NTD endemic countries with ongoing complex emergencies in sub-Saharan Africa. Data from the 47 World Health Organization's African Region countries were analyzed to create a decision tree, and a case study on South Sudan demonstrated the need for specialized methods in conflict-affected areas. This approach aims to address challenges and achieve progress towards the NTD Roadmap targets by 2030.
