The forecasted data for the total population requiring interventions against neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Kenya shows a consistent decline from 7.1175 million in 2024 to 4.3336 million by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease, with the most significant reduction being from 2024 to 2025 at approximately 10.05%, and continuing to decrease at a slightly diminishing rate each subsequent year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this 5-year period indicates an average annual decrease of around 11.24%, showcasing a significant downward trend in the population requiring NTD interventions.
Looking ahead, it is crucial to monitor factors contributing to this decline, such as enhanced healthcare initiatives, better access to medical treatments, and improved living conditions. The sustainability of these trends will likely depend on continued government and international support, advancements in medical treatments for NTDs, and ongoing public health education efforts. Any shifts in these areas could alter future forecasts.
