We present a historical review of two neglected tropical diseases (NTD), namely, onchocerciasis and trachoma, both which were successfully eliminated in Mexico. In addition, we present a cost-effectiveness assessment (CEA) demonstrating that these were worthwhile health interventions. Historically, an estimate of $310.68 and $38.92 per person were spent during the period of time the onchocerciasis and trachoma elimination programs operated, respectively.
我们对两种被忽视的热带病（NTD）进行了历史回顾，这两种疾病分别是盘尾丝虫病和沙眼，它们在墨西哥均已成功消除。此外，我们还进行了成本效益评估（CEA），结果表明这些都是值得开展的卫生干预措施。从历史角度来看，在盘尾丝虫病和沙眼消除计划实施期间，人均花费估计分别为310.68美元和38.92美元。
