This paper highlights the limited attention given to gender, equity, ethnicity and human rights in neglected tropical disease programmes. In order to ensure that sub-populations are included as part of NTD programmes, we call for the support of national NTD programmes to make equity analysis a part of their routine activities. This will be an essential component to “achieve effective, sustainable service delivery with a person-centred approach.”
