- On June 8, 2022, the WHO launched a strategic framework aimed at addressing skin-related neglected tropical diseases (skin NTDs), which include at least 9 different diseases affecting the skin.
- The framework shifts away from treating these diseases individually and encourages finding commonalities among them to enhance health impacts.
- It seeks to promote integrated treatment strategies, contributing to broader health goals like Universal Health Coverage and improving skin health for everyone.
