Description
Margriet den Boer and Koert Ritmeijer edit a special issue on neglected tropical diseases in war zones. Their 2026 editorial notes a year of gains in control of these diseases amid hard global times. A world roadmap for 2021 to 2030 began with hope and pledges. Now control faces a setback. More than 100 million drug tablets have expired in warehouses this year.
Funding fell by forty one percent from 2018 to 2023. Still, as of November 2025, fifty eight countries had cleared at least one such disease. Conflict is at its highest level since the Second World War. The editors warn that people in war zones are left out of control work. That lack of inclusion brings harsh results for the poorest groups.
