Countries have seen substantial disruptions to usual health services related to coronavirus disease 2019 and these are likely to have immediate and long-term indirect effects on many disease control programmes, including neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). The pandemic has highlighted the usefulness of mathematical modelling to understand the impacts of these disruptions and future control measures on progress towards 2030 NTD goals. The pandemic also provides an opportunity, and a practical necessity, to transform NTD programmes through innovation.
各国的 2019 冠状病毒病相关常规卫生服务受到严重干扰,这可能会对许多疾病控制规划,包括被忽视的热带病,产生直接和长期的间接影响。大流行突显了数学模型在了解这些干扰以及未来控制措施对 2030 年被忽视的热带病目标进展影响方面的作用。大流行也为通过创新转变被忽视的热带病规划提供了机会和实际需要。
