The forecast data for the total population requiring interventions against neglected tropical diseases in the Philippines exhibits a consistent downward trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 46.255 million in 2024, it slightly decreases each year, reaching 45.461 million by 2028. This signifies a year-on-year reduction, reflecting an ongoing positive trend in managing these diseases. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period further underscores a gradual but steady decline in the population needing interventions.
Looking ahead, it’s crucial to monitor factors that could influence these trends, such as improvements in healthcare infrastructure, access to clean water, and effective disease prevention programs. Additionally, global health initiatives and local policies aimed at eradicating neglected tropical diseases will play significant roles in sustaining this downward trend. Ensuring these measures are maintained and adapted to the changing health landscape will be key to further reducing the population requiring interventions.
