The Pan American Health Organization has announced a strategic partnership with Argentina’s Mundo Sano Foundation to address neglected tropical diseases affecting millions across Latin America. The agreement, formalized on May 27, 2026, represents a significant commitment to health equity in underserved regions. With approximately 200 million people in the Americas affected by preventable tropical diseases, this collaboration leverages Mundo Sano’s two decades of community-based expertise in disease control and surveillance. The partnership extends beyond tropical diseases to include a comprehensive cervical cancer prevention initiative targeting rural and indigenous communities. By integrating surveillance systems, expanding healthcare access, and strengthening prevention programs, the organizations aim to eliminate diseases that disproportionately burden the region’s poorest populations. The initiative underscores growing recognition that neglected diseases require coordinated, region-specific strategies supported by experienced local partners.
