2/25/11 - Blog post highlights Global NGO Deworming Inventory findings.
End the Neglect is a blog created by the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases. Recently, Adebukola Oni wrote a post to the blog, highlighting the contributions NGOs have made to deworming. The findings were made by analyzing data collected by the Global NGO Deworming Inventory, a World Health Organization (WHO) project in partnership with Children Without Worms (CWW), the Schistosomiasis Initiative (SCI), and Deworm the World (DtW).
The data the inventory collects complements the data in the WHO Preventive Chemotherapy (PCT) Databank, which predominantly contains data submitted by governmental organizations. The 2009 data reported 20.8 million treatments not previously captured in the WHO databank.
Read the End the Neglect blog post and visit the Highlighted Reports page of the Global NGO Deworming Inventory site. And if you're an NGO conducting deworming activities, be sure to submit your 2010 treatment numbers to the inventory.
