摘要

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are a significant global health issue, affecting over a billion people and hindering progress in economically disadvantaged areas, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study explores the complex relationship between socioeconomic factors and health inequalities in the region, highlighting the diverse impacts of NTDs and offering forward-looking recommendations. Despite global efforts to combat these diseases, significant gaps remain in achieving eradication in endemic areas. Key strategies for progress include expanding educational initiatives, engaging broader global health communities, and addressing the stigma faced by NTD victims. Therefore, recognizing the multifaceted impact of NTDs, it is essential to integrate intersectionality into health policies and action plans to tackle the challenges these diseases pose in Sub-Saharan Africa and globally.
