Eliminación de la Filariasis Linfática en las Américas: Reunión de Gerentes de Programas Regionales (Puerto Príncipe, Haití, 4-6 septiembre 2002)
La eliminación de la filariasis linfática empezó en China en los años cincuenta como un fenómeno agro-económico. El éxito del programa se basó en un compromiso sostenido del gobierno, y los esfuerzos colectivos permitieron que China eliminara la filariasis linfática como problema de salud pública. La Región de las Américas podría ser la primera en llegar a la meta de la eliminación debido a avances recientes que indican claramente la factibilidad.

A Turning Point 2007: Report of the Global Partners' Meeting on Neglected Tropical Diseases (Geneva, Switzerland, 19-20 April 2007)
An estimated one billion people--one sixth of the world’s population--are infected with one or more neglected tropical diseases.

This meeting of 200 key international partners declared to the world that control of these diseases deserves high priority on the global public health agenda and still greater determination to deliver appropriate health care to the millions of poor people in need.
