Global Health Grand Rounds–<br />
Chagas and Other Neglected Tropical<br />
Diseases impacting Global Health<br />
Written by Stephen Scholand, MD<br />
On December 14, Dr. Norman L. Beatty, Assistant<br />
Professor of Medicine at the University of Florida<br />
College of Medicine, Division of Infectious<br />
Diseases and Global Medicine gave a passionate<br />
and inspiring Grand Rounds lecture on Neglected<br />
Tropical Diseases (NTDs). The World Health<br />
Organization recently published a Roadmap for<br />
NTDs in order to highlight the impact of these diseases toward improving global<br />
health. Diseases such as leprosy, rabies, and snake bites are among horrific<br />
diseases not yet eradicated by health authorities. A world expert on Chagas<br />
disease, one of the major NTDs impacting the United States, Dr. Beatty gave<br />
an insightful overview of the problems. It was unsettling to learn about the very<br />
large undiagnosed populations in the U.S. who may be affected by this insidious<br />
disease. Certainly more needs to be done for Chagas and other neglected<br />
diseases to improve the health of the world.<br />
Dr. Beatty currently continues his work in infectious diseases and global health<br />
and recently ran a large health fair for migrant farm workers in central Florida.<br />
Our Nuvance Global Health Program partners were inspired and energized by<br />
Dr. Beatty and look forward to improvements in human health on the road to<br />
more equitable healthcare for our global community.<br />
