Over the past quarter of a century, the extent and impact of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) on populations worldwide have been determined, and both treatment and control measures have been developed. Product development partnerships (PDPs) have been established to bring forward new tools for these efforts. A huge movement, including international organizations, academia, pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, committed to advancing the treatment, control and elimination of NTDs has grown over this period. The leading role of PDPs has not only been to develop and implement new tools but also acted as an effective catalyst to encourage and enable pharma and academia to engage in these diseases, to establish portfolios to enable choice and to connect to other innovative public–private partnerships that can deliver new and established treatments and control measures to neglected populations.
