  结束忽视,实现可持续发展目标: 2021-2030年被忽视的热带病路线图

  被忽视的热带病(NTD)是一种古老的致贫疾病,给全世界10多亿人带来极具破坏力的人力、社会和经济负担,主要集中在热带和亚热带地区最脆弱、最边缘化的人群中。自2012年世卫组织发布第一份预防和控制被忽视的热带病路线图(《加速开展工作克服被忽视的热带病的全球影响路线图》)以来,已在消除这些疾病方面取得了重大进展。今天,与2010年相比,需要被忽视的热带病干预措施的人口减少了5亿人,40个国家和地区至少消除了一种疾病。麦地那龙线虫病即将被根除,有4个国家在2019年报告了54例人类病例;淋巴丝虫病和致盲性沙眼已作为一个公共卫生问题分别在16个国家和9个国家被消除;盘尾丝虫病已在美洲区域的4个国家被消除;人类非洲锥虫病的年度病例数从2012年的7000例下降到2018年的不到1000例,使到2020年下降到2000例的原定目标减少一半;自2010年以来,全球报告的新增麻风病病例数继续下降,平均每年下降1%,此前大多数流行国家已经实现作为一个公共卫生问题消除麻风病的目标,即每10 000人中只有不到一例接受治疗的规定目标。
