Biography

she is a Professor of Medicine and studies study neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). There are 17 parasitic and bacterial infections that cause blindness, anemia, malnutrition, growth and development stunting in children, and severe morbidity and mortality during pregnancy in women. These infections can also increase the risk of co-infection with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Their impact on health and socioeconomic status (mainly in the developing world) result in promoting and maintaining poverty. As the United Nations secretary general recently stated, “Poverty reduction and the elimination of NTDs go hand-in-hand.”
