Sunday 12 February RNW - NEWS, ANALYSIS AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE

Africa in Progress - Neglected Tropical Diseases

On air: 2 November 2009 15:45

More about:

Buruli Ulcer is one of several diseases that are barely known because their devastation is not as global as malaria, or HIV/AIDS.

Yet, the Neglected Tropical Diseases affect over one billion people, mostly in tropical Africa. NTDs have a low profile and status in public health priorities and are difficult to control because of traditional beliefs.

Our guest on this show is Dr Samuel Etuafo from Ghana.
