World Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) Day is commemorated annually on 30 January to raise awareness about a group of preventable and treatable diseases that continue to affect over one billion people globally, particularly in low-income and underserved communities.

In Nigeria, NTDs remain a major public health concern, contributing to disability, stigma, reduced productivity, and persistent poverty.

This yearโ€™s theme, "๐—จ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ. ๐—”๐—ฐ๐˜. ๐—˜๐—น๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ.", underscores the urgent need for collective action by governments, health institutions, communities, and partners to accelerate progress towards the control and elimination of NTDs.

Diseases such as lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis, leprosy, and trachoma continue to disproportionately affect vulnerable populations with limited access to clean water, sanitation, and healthcare services.

The University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) joins the global community in commemorating World NTD Day, reaffirming its commitment to improving health outcomes through quality clinical care, community outreach, research, training of health professionals, and collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

UBTH remains dedicated to strengthening surveillance, promoting early diagnosis, supporting public health interventions, and advancing integrated approaches for the prevention and control of NTDs.

World NTD Day serves as a reminder that eliminating NTDs is both a public health and social justice imperative.

Through sustained political will, increased investment, community participation, and multisectoral collaboration, significant progress can be achieved towards ensuring healthier lives and leaving no one behind.

As part of ongoing efforts to reposition the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) through strategic partnerships, the Chief Medical Director, Prof. Idia Nibokun Ize-Iyamu, paid a courtesy visit to Okomu Oil Palm Company Plc to explore areas of mutually beneficial collaboration. The visit underscored UBTHโ€™s commitment to engaging key corporate stakeholders as partners in advancing accessible, efficient, and high-quality healthcare services.

During the engagement, the CMD presented UBTH as a dependable healthcare ally capable of delivering timely, specialized, and patient-centred services to corporate organisations and their workforce. She highlighted the hospitalโ€™s Corporate Services and Partnership Unit (CSPU) as a structured platform for fast-track access, priority care, and coordinated medical services, while emphasizing that revenues generated through such partnerships would be transparently reinvested into strengthening specialised medical services across the hospital.

The CMD and her entourage were warmly received by the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Okomu Oil Palm Company Plc, Mr. Graham Hefer, and members of the management team, who commended the CMDโ€™s proactive leadership and clarity of vision. The engagement culminated in a shared commitment to partnership, marking a significant step toward enhancing occupational and specialist healthcare delivery, strengthening publicโ€“private collaboration, and promoting sustainable service efficiency at UBTH.
