ESPEN’s mission goes beyond data provision. We actively support governments in integrating NTDs into national health plans, budgets, and policies, ensuring that NTD elimination is not a vertical effort but part of a broader health systems strengthening agenda. Country ownership remains central to our approach—because sustainable progress is only possible when national leadership drives the change.
From Data to Action
The Devex article underscores how ESPEN’s data-driven model is helping countries close the treatment gap and reach underserved populations. By mapping where interventions are most needed, ESPEN enables targeted responses that maximize impact and equity.
