CWW just updated our “STH Facts and Figures” page to highlight new figures from WHO’s Schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases: progress report, 2024! Visit the page here: childrenwithoutworms.org/resources/st...
We encourage you to read this compelling The New York Times story. It explores the road ahead for NTD elimination efforts following global shifts, and the innovative ways that countries are integrating treatment campaigns to continue driving the work forward.
WHO data suggests that the total number of children requiring PC for STH decreased by 21.7 million between 2022 and 2023. This reduction shows the positive impact that global STH control programs have had in helping eliminate suffering from intestinal worm infections in children around the world.
2023 WHO data noted that 5 countries in the WHO African and Eastern Mediterranean Regions stopped preventive chemotherapy after impact assessments demonstrated an STH prevalence <2%.
These countries showcase the effectiveness of STH control efforts in reducing its prevalence.
