Mashup Score: 383Neglected Tropical Diseases - 3 month(s) ago
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are mainly prevalent in tropical areas, where they affect impoverished, underserved communities. They cause devastating health, social and economic consequences. WHO estimates that more than 1.6 billion people require treatment for at least one NTD every year. The OpenWHO NTD channel offers learning resources to support implementation of prevention, control, elimination or eradication activities against 21 conditions or groups of conditions, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals and the overarching, cross-cutting and disease-specific targets included in the NTD road map 2021-2030. In pursuit of the goal of achieving health for all, the channel also includes courses on non-NTDs, notably skin-NTDs, given their importance for differential diagnosis and related case management.

Mashup Score: 151Universal Health Coverage - 5 month(s) ago
At least half of the people in the world do not receive the health services they need. About 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty each year because of out-of-pocket spending on health. This must change. The Universal Health Coverage channel offers courses that support WHO’s target of 1 billion more people benefitting from universal health coverage (UHC) by 2023. UHC means that all people have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship.

Mashup Score: 396Antimicrobial Resistance - 5 month(s) ago
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top 10 global public health threats facing humanity. AMR threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. It occurs when microorganisms develop resistance to medicines that are relied upon for treatment, making some conditions difficult or impossible to cure. As a result, infections persist in the body, increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. The Antimicrobial Resistance channel offers learning resources to support implementation of the *Global Action Plan on AMR* (2015), by building health care worker competencies to help combat AMR in their daily clinical practice.
