The integration of vertical control programmes of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) aims to contain operational cost, simplify the application of the control measures and further extend the coverage of interventions. The Preventive Chemotherapy and Transmission Control (PCT) databank was established by the WHO to facilitate access and sharing of information from national programmes with stakeholders involved in NTD control. The PCT databank contains compilations of historical and current information on disease-specific epidemiological situations, the geographical overlapping of NTDs and progress of control activities in all the NTD-endemic countries. A summary of country-specific epidemiological maps and the progress of control activities are available from the online PCT databank and the Country Profiles. Annual progress of preventive chemotherapy interventions targeting specific NTDs is reported in the Weekly Epidemiological Record (WER) published annually for each disease targeted. In this paper, the method of data collection and compilation used to establish the PCT databank is explained and the key features of the online PCT databank, the Country Profiles and WER are presented.
被忽视热带病垂直控制规划的整合旨在控制运营成本、简化控制措施的应用，并进一步扩大干预措施的覆盖面。世界卫生组织（WHO）建立了预防性化疗和传播控制（PCT）数据库，以方便利益攸关方获取和分享国家规划中与控制被忽视热带病相关的信息。PCT 数据库包含了关于疾病特定流行病学情况、被忽视热带病的地理重叠以及所有被忽视热带病流行国家控制活动进展的历史和当前信息的汇编。在线 PCT 数据库和国家简介提供了特定国家的流行病学地图摘要和控制活动进展情况。针对特定被忽视热带病的预防性化疗干预措施的年度进展情况在针对每种疾病的年度《每周流行病学记录》（WER）中报告。本文解释了建立 PCT 数据库所使用的数据收集和汇编方法，并介绍了在线 PCT 数据库、国家简介和 WER 的主要特点。
