    NUR 358 Global Health


    Neglected Tropical Diseases

    Purpose of the Assignment


    To assimilate the information learned in this course to describe an example of a
    successful health initiative worldwide that has had an impact on the health of vulnerable
    populations ( i.e women, children, elderly, disabled).
    Approach to the Assignment
    I researched common worldwide diseases and discovered that most were due to parasites,
    contaminated environments and poor health of the affected population.
    Reason for Inclusion
    This assignment was included as an example of a discussion board post and serves to
    educate classmates on organizations worldwide that combat disease caused by parasites.
    Culture

    Maintains an awareness of global environmental factors that may influence the


    delivery of health care services.

    This discussion board post illustrates the effect that living conditions and availability of
    low cost methods to control tropical disease can have on a global community. More than
    1 billion people, almost one-sixth of the worlds population (CDC, 2104), suffer from one
    or more neglected tropical diseases.

    Considers the impact of research outcomes and the effects of health and social
    policies on persons from diverse backgrounds.

    Neglected tropical disease affect all cultures and communities across the globe. Research
    has shown that treatment with mass drug administration was effective in combating
    health problems associated with infection.
