more about our keynote speaker »
Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases teaches us about an incredible opportunity we have to control… neglected tropical diseases on a massive scale. I am excited by the possibility of witnessing the elimination of some of these terrible scourges in my lifetime. For all of these reasons, I am hopeful that this book will inspire you and stimulate you to get involved in stamping out the neglected tropical diseases, thereby taking an important step to reaching out in a very tangible way to the world's poorest and most vulnerable people. - From the Foreword by Alyssa Milano, Lead Ambassador for the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases.
