DNDi
This new drug is an important additional tool for the better treatment for a disease that continues to kill over one million people each year globally, and kills a child every 30 seconds.
Over the past 30 years, the number of drugs targeting neglected diseases is ten if we consider the most neglected diseases, 18 if we add malaria, and 21 if we add tuberculosis. These totals still represent only around 1% of all new drugs (1,556) launched during this period — a situation that is essentially unchanged from five years ago.
