Neglected Tropical Diseases Programme

Why it matters

Neglected tropical diseases are closely tied to poverty, geography, water, sanitation, disability, and community outreach. WHO NTD guidance emphasizes integrated disease management, preventive chemotherapy campaigns, surveillance, disability prevention, referral, and community-based follow-up.

InBasket AI keeps this programme pathway connected to one continuous patient record so a small care team can work from a single, trustworthy source of truth — part of expanding access to care for the next billion people.

Designed with reference to recognized global, national, and clinical standards

This care area is designed with reference to a standards ecosystem, including global guidance, national protocols, specialty-society recommendations, interoperability standards, and programme reporting requirements where applicable:

• WHO neglected tropical disease road map
• Global Fund / national NTD campaign and preventive-chemotherapy reporting frameworks where adopted
• WHO integrated disease management guidance for skin NTDs
• National NTD registers, adverse-event follow-up, disability-prevention, and referral requirements
• National Ministry of Health standard treatment guidelines, essential medicines lists, and local scope-of-practice rules for the implementation setting
• HL7 FHIR, ICD-10, LOINC, SNOMED CT, and local terminology/coding standards where adopted
• National programme registers, surveillance definitions, DHIS2 or equivalent reporting requirements, and donor-reporting mappings where adopted
