“More than ever, neglected tropical diseases deserve their name.” Each year, more than 4 million people are bitten, up to 138,000 people die from snakebite, while around 400,000 are left with permanent disabilities.

In @LancetChildAdol, MSF’s @NealJRussell and @mattcoldiron call for the urgent inclusion of children in research on oral post-exposure prophylaxis for #Bundibugyo virus disease. Delayed inclusion of children into trials risks delayed access to potentially effective treatments. #Childhealth #Ebola Read the full Comment here: thelancet.com/journals/lanch…
