The Centre for Neglected Tropical Diseases (CNTDR) is one of four Centres of the Institute of Health Research of the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ho, Ghana. We conduct cutting-edge research in support of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) elimination/control programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and contribute to the global body of knowledge on these diseases. Thus, we seek to build the evidence for effective design, implementation and evaluation of NTD programmes.

Our Mission is to support national NTD programmes in Africa, through basic and implementation research, policy analysis, and prioritization of interventions for elimination/control of these diseases. 

Our Vision is to eliminate/control Neglected Tropical diseases (NTDs) in deprived populations in Africa.
