Highlighted in a previous post, the Global NGO Deworming Inventory collects treatment data from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) around the world that provide anthelminthic drugs to treat soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH), schistosomiasis, and/or lymphatic filariasis (LF). This Inventory complements the WHO Preventive Chemotherapy (PCT) databank which collects treatment data from governmental health agencies. Below is information on the first report on the Inventory:
The first report of the Global NGO Deworming Inventory is now available on the Inventory website. The report provides a list of deworming programs operating in various countries, and is intended to serve as a resource in facilitating collaboration among deworming programs working in the same country. The report will continue to be updated as new data are submitted to the Inventory. Please continue to check the Inventory website for updates.
A summary report of treatment data is currently being compiled and validated. Treatment data will be aggregated at the national level to provide an overview of the scope of deworming activities within countries. An announcement will be sent once this report is available.
The Inventory team thanks all the organizations that have participated to date. Your input has contributed greatly to building the Inventory and will help establish a stronger community among deworming programs.
Please contact info@deworminginventory.org for any concerns or clarification on the data presented. Your suggestions or any questions you may have are also welcome.
