Organisation profile

The Centre for Neglected Tropical Diseases (CNTD) builds on over 125 years of Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine's (LSTM) expertise to help eliminate NTDs.   

The 21 NTDs identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) affect over 1 billion people, mostly in underserved communities where poverty and inequality allow them to persist. These diseases cause disability, stigma, and loss of livelihood, reinforcing cycles of disadvantage.   

The CNTD works to inform policies and strengthen health systems through evidence-based strategies tailored to each context, supporting prevention, early detection, and accessible treatment to save and improve lives.
