Last year 2021, the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) program implemented Neglected Tropical Disease Mass Drug Administration (MDA) and Survey at Tafea Province on the month of November and December 2021. Mass Drug Administration is when treatments are given out of NTDs in the communities. The MDA activities happens only when we received report form Health Facilities because of the increase of NTDs cases within a community. During this MDA and Survey Activities, there are 17 MDA teams that carried out this MDA Operation with six MDA supervisor. So now the NTD program need to do MDA and Survey data to know the result of this activities
