NAIROBI, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- The eradication of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in remote Kenyan counties has gathered steam amid ramped-up investments in their prevention, treatment and care, a senior official said Monday.
Susan Nakhumicha Wafula, cabinet secretary for Health, said that domestication of global instruments has been combined with robust funding, policy reforms, enhanced surveillance and awareness in a bid to get rid of old and forgotten vector-borne diseases.
