PC-NTDs risk being permanently deprioritized due to the current unavailability of needed resources. Although NTDs disproportionately affect high risk areas, primarily indigenous populations, their low mortality rate has resulted in reduced support from global health services. The redistribution of resources from NTD elimination programs to Covid-19 support has stalled NTD programming and stretched volunteers and health professionals who have been directed to Covid-19 related services. Long-term funding for NTDs may be impacted if a resurgence of infection pushes elimination goals farther into the future. Additionally, the cost of public health interventions, such as MDA programs that prevent disease resurgence, may increase as a result of the incorporation of safety measures when administering treatments.
