Dignity and inclusion are at the center of NTD programs. Diseases like river blindness and lymphatic filariasis can cause lasting disability, which is why programs focus both on prevention and care.

Every RLMF-supported country has a distinct context, including geographic, climate, and political challenges. To address these obstacles, RLMF’s approach is rooted in country ownership, local expertise, and equitable access.

Alongside a global coalition of partners, we have increased the number of countries in the RLMF portfolio, delivered millions of treatments, and supported countries on their way to NTD elimination.

Behind the statistic:

🌍 Decades of country leadership.
🏥 A growing health care workforce.
🤝 Collaborations between governments, donors, pharmaceutical companies, and global health partners.

All of this made it possible for 172 million fewer people to require lymphatic filariasis treatment in just one year.

River blindness is one of the leading infectious causes of preventable blindness. #WorldSightDay

Country-led programs are charting a future where no one loses their sight to river blindness. These efforts focus on prevention and treatment while also caring for those living with vision-related disability.
