Abstract:
Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) with devastating morbidity and stigma. Despite increased awareness and international collaboration, the burden of mycetoma is largely unknown and diagnosis and treatment are difficult. Addressing mycetoma globally aligns with several United Nation\'s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Little progress has been made since the WHO\'s NTD roadmap publication in 2020. The Global Mycetoma Working Group proposes an enhanced mycetoma-control roadmap to meet the SDGs, stimulate progress and improve the lives of patients experiencing mycetoma. By aligning mycetoma management with the goals and targets of this enhanced roadmap, it becomes possible to leverage existing resources, infrastructure and partnerships to improve the lives of affected individuals and communities. This updated assessment is designed for the benefit of health workers and providers in mycetoma-endemic areas, NTD government officials, civil society and funding and implementing agencies.
摘要:
Mycetoma是一种被忽视的热带病(NTD),具有毁灭性的发病率和污名。尽管提高认识和国际合作,肌瘤的负担在很大程度上是未知的,诊断和治疗是困难的。在全球范围内解决霉菌瘤符合联合国的几个可持续发展目标(SDG)。自2020年世卫组织NTD路线图发布以来,进展甚微。全球Mycetoma工作组提出了一个增强的Mycetoma控制路线图,以实现可持续发展目标。刺激进展和改善患者的生活经历肌瘤。通过使肌瘤管理与此增强路线图的目标和指标保持一致,利用现有资源成为可能,基础设施和伙伴关系,以改善受影响的个人和社区的生活。这项更新的评估旨在帮助真菌瘤流行地区的卫生工作者和提供者,NTD政府官员,民间社会以及筹资和执行机构。
