Join WI-HER for a webinar exploring the complexities of delivering neglected tropical disease (NTD) services in diverse environments, focusing on reaching special populations. Panelists will discuss how NTD programs, which often emphasize large-scale impact, can be adapted to consider the unique human experiences that shape access, acceptance, and use of these services.
This event focuses on several special populations that are critical to reaching the last mile of NTD service provision, including urban populations, ethnic and religious minorities, youth, people with disability, and nomadic pastoralists. Tune in to learn strategies on how to integrate and respond to factors such as population shifts and climate changes in NTD programming, ensuring that efforts are inclusive and equitable.
