Deutsche Welle interviews Neeraj Mistry, the managing director of the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases, about the challenge of eliminating neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). According to the interview transcript, Mistry examines why NTDs “fail to get the attention they need,” provides examples of “what can happen if these diseases are treated,” and reflects on the role NTDs “should play in the post-2015 development agenda,” among other topics (Rasper/Isenson, 11/4).
