Findings Congress finds the following: (1) In 2012, the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases identified 10 neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Approximately 2,000,000,000 people (almost 1/3 of the world’s population) are at risk of contracting an NTD, and more than 1,400,000,000 people are currently afflicted with one or more NTDs. (2) In 2013, WHO adopted a comprehensive resolution on NTDs, recognizing that increased national and international investments in prevention and control of neglected tropical diseases have succeeded in improving health and social well-being in many countries. (3) NTDs have an enormous impact in terms of disease burden and quality of life. NTDs cause the loss of up to 534,000 lives and up to 57,000,000 disability-adjusted life years each year. NTDs surpass both malaria and tuberculosis in causing greater loss of life-years to
