The grouping of skin NTDs sheds light on the burden of skin disease in impoverished populations and facilitates integrated control activities, research prioritization, and funding support. Integrated control of skin NTDs led by the global health dermatology community has the potential to strengthen health systems and improve health outcomes for disadvantaged individuals.
The grouping of skin NTDs provides a spotlight on the significant burden of skin disease that occurs mainly in impoverished populations in resourcepoor settings. Building on the concept of skin NTDs smooths the path to integration of control activities from case acquisition, mapping, community empowerment, and treatment to disability and morbidity control. It enables clarification of the research gaps and priorities and supports a strong argument for funding to undertake further research and control activities. Integrated control of skin NTDs led by the global health dermatology community and its partners has the potential to bolster health systems significantly and cost effectively in resource-poor areas, leading to improvements in skin health and overall health for many of the world's most disadvantaged individuals.
