Congressional Malaria & NTD Caucus Briefing – Washington DC
In the US, the Obama Administration releases its 2011 budget asking Congress to approve
$155M for the treatment of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), a $90M increase over 2010. 
DNDi and MSF are calling for the inclusion of deadly NTDs, such as HAT, VL, and Chagas
disease and to include R&D for urgently needed new tools like drugs to replace outdated,
toxic, expensive, and ineffective tools. On February 22nd, DNDi, MSF, and RTI hold a briefing
on Capitol Hill to inform policymakers of this deadly neglect and the opportunities to save
the lives of neglected people suffering from these diseases.
