Over the years, there have been concerted efforts to eliminate and manage the aftereffects of neglected tropical diseases globally.

A project launched by the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) has injected a new spirit into the quest targeted at eliminating neglected tropical disease, Lymphatic Filariasis (LF).

The Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) Morbidity Management Project would be implemented in partnership with Sightsavers International and the Ghana Health Service.

The project would birth an integrated health facility assessment tool to inject hydrocele and lymphoedema services into health care.
