Descripció:
- La majoria de les malalties tropicals desateses són endèmiques a les zones rurals d'Àfrica al sud del Sàhara i en les zones rurals i urbanes pobres dels països de baixos ingressos d'Àsia i Amèrica Llatina. Condueixen a la discapacitat a llarg termini, la desfiguració, el creixement infantil deficient, els resultats adversos en l'embaràs i la productivitat econòmica reduïda. El seu impacte en la productivitat dels treballadors és de milers de milions de dòlars perduts cada any i mantenen països de baixos ingressos en la pobresa.
Abordar les malalties tropicals desateses des d'una perspectiva de salut pública sovint impliquen negociacions no només pels nostres interessos, sinó també per les creences fonamentals sobre les necessitats i prioritats de salut pública, i com el govern i la societat hauria d'estar treballant per respondre a aquestes necessitats i prioritats.
En el context actual de pandèmia per la COVID-19 els més vulnerables són els sistemes sanitaris en països de renda baixa, on s'afegeixen als problemes estructurals i sanitaris, de manera que a les malalties tropicals oblidades, la malària, la tuberculosi, el VIH i les malalties cròniques, ara s'hi afegeix la COVID-19.

Observacions
More than 1 billion people – a sixth of the world’s population – suffer from one or more neglected tropical diseases. These diseases represent about 17% of the global burden of parasitic and infectious diseases. Most neglected tropical diseases are endemic in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and in poor urban settings of low-income countries in Asia and Latin America. They lead to long-term disability, disfigurement, impaired childhood growth, adverse pregnancy outcomes and reduced economic productivity.
Addressing neglected tropical diseases from a public health perspective often involve negotiations not only on what we want (our interests), but also on core beliefs about public health needs and priorities, and the way government and society should be working to respond to those needs and priorities (our values).
This elective provides the opportunity to learn the current global situation of neglected tropical diseases, how large-scale interventions for control are organized and main challenges for implementation and sustainability of control.
Modificació del disseny
Modificació de les activitats:
In case of a "lockdown" situation, PBL sessions will be completely online.
