Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) impact 1 billion people across the globe. On the occasion of World NTD Day, we got the NTD specialist Dr Debajit Sarkar to talk to us about NTDs. Dr Sarkar is the Divisional Head (East) at GLRA India. He holds about 15 Years of experiences in Public Health across different portfolios in the rural health system as well as urban slums and with marginalised populations.

Tune in to hear about:

1. What are NTDs? And why are people talking about them?
2. What is the social impact of such diseases?
3. What is the best way to prevent and treat such diseases?
4. What are our key learnings in the process of supporting NTD work throughout the country?
5. Future plans, how can India support other countries in the fight against NTDs
