Summary
Domestic financing is crucial for sustaining neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) control and elimination efforts. Tracking these resources via country health accounts can increase NTD visibility in national health funding discussions.
Area of Science:
- Global Health
- Health Economics
- Tropical Medicine
Background:
- Achieving targets for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) requires adequate resources for program implementation.
- International health aid and pharmaceutical donations were key drivers for NTD control between 2010 and 2020.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the critical role of domestic financing for sustaining NTD control and elimination programs in the upcoming decade.
- To propose country health accounts as a method for tracking domestic resources for NTD programs.
Main Methods:
- The study reviews the resource landscape for NTD programs.
- It emphasizes the shift from international aid to domestic financing.
- It suggests utilizing country health accounts for resource tracking.
Main Results:
- Domestic financing is identified as essential for the sustainability of NTD programs beyond 2020.
- Country health accounts are proposed as a viable platform for monitoring domestic resource allocation for NTDs.
Conclusions:
- Increased visibility of NTDs within national health resource allocation discussions is necessary.
- Systematic tracking of domestic resources is a foundational step towards ensuring sustained funding for NTD control and elimination efforts.

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.
