The primary objective of the project, called "End in Africa -- Ghana and 2012 MDAs for NTDs," is to implement mass drug administration (MDA) to treat NTDs and clinical management of the diseases across Ghana, the blog notes, adding that the "initiative will also provide public health education to all targeted endemic NTD communities" (2/24).
