Welcome to the Neglected Global Diseases Initiative at UBC

Neglected global diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, and others designated by the World Health Organization (WHO), disproportionately affect the poorest of the global population. NGDI at UBC creates a network to bring together groups interested in making a positive impact and enabling sustained scholarly activity and education in this area.
