The World Health Organization (WHO) highlights the ongoing issue of stigma and discrimination faced by people living with neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Despite the significant burden of these diseases, many affected individuals continue to suffer from social stigma and lack of access to proper treatment. The WHO emphasizes the need for communities to unite and address these challenges, as people with NTDs often experience profound and hidden suffering due to the prevailing attitudes and barriers they encounter.
