Launch Toolbox "Neglected Tropical Diseases"

the World Health Organisation (WHO) currently lists 20 diseases in the group of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), which primarily affect people in the Global South; women and children are disproportionately affected. These diseases have devastating health, social and economic consequences for more than 1.7 billion people worldwide, with many millions dying each year. Left untreated, NTDs  can lead to chronic conditions, disability or even death. In view of the burdens and effects on the health of people suffering from NTDs, MEDBOX's NTD Toolbox aims to continue to promote and intensify knowledge and awareness of this topic at the political, public and civil society level. The Toolbox includes material regarding clinical aspects & diagnositics, information & education material or preventiion and control.  Please find our new NTD Toolbox here

Caregivers have a major impact on maintaining health services and improving the health status of the population. The daily work in nursing, however, requires good organization, a high sense of responsibility, and continuous education on the latest standards of care.MEDBOX produced a video that is specifically addressed to caregivers. It explains the structure and content of the Caregiver Toolbox, tells stories from caregivers around the world and shows how the online library can simplify their work.
