Abstract

Skin-related neglected tropical diseases, or skin NTDs, comprise a group of NTDs that produce signs and symptoms on the skin, and includes at least nine diseases and disease groups. The World Health Organization launched the ‘Ending the neglect to attain the Sustainable Development Goals: a strategic framework for integrated control and management of skin-related neglected tropical diseases’ in June 2022, which this article summarises and sets out the way forward including guidance on how dermatologists and dermatological communities along with public health communities may support this initiative to contribute towards achieving skin care for everyone everywhere.
