NNN Statement of Commitment to Safety

As NTD programs mature, scale up to full capacity at the global level, and become more fully integrated into national health systems, it is appropriate for the NTD community to recommit itself with even greater vigilance to safety, minimizing harm, and safeguarding health; and to align with World Health Assembly Resolution 72.6 Global Action on Patient Safety adopted in May 2019. Attention to safety is particularly timely as we approach the release of the WHO 2030 NTD Roadmap.
