Abstract
SUMMARY BOX
The international community has pledged through the Sustainable Development Goals to eliminate neglected tropical diseases by 2030.
Authors from 19 institutions around the world call for urgent reflection and a change in mind-set to garner support and hasten progress towards achieving this fast approaching target.
They advocate for an empowering approach that will propel political momentum, milestones and targets for accountability, new science in drug development and increased funding particularly from G20 countries.
