Introduction
Management of disease complications (also called morbidity) and disability prevention (MDDP) are vital components for NTD programs. They should be fully integrated into the health system to ensure sustainability. Several of the roadmaps or global strategies for eliminating NTDs have included strategies and guidelines for MDDP. With regard to prevention of disabilities, these include:
- eye care
- skin and wound management
- training in self-care
- health education
