In line with our vision to see to the elimination of NTDs in Ghana, the NeTroDis research group attended this year’s official launch of MDA in Ghana. The Ghana Health Service launched the 2021 national Mass Drug Administration (MDA) in Sunyani in July 2021, to fight the Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), especially human onchocerciasis in the country. The country NTD Programme Manager, Dr Kofi Asemanyi-Mensah, who launched the MDA on the theme “Face NTDs, End the Neglect through Effective and Quality MDAs”, said the implementation of the programme forms part of eliminating Onchocerciasis or river blindness by the year 2025. The NeTroDis team was part of the deliberations during the launch and made useful engagements with the country NTD programme as well as other NTD partners.
