Abstract

We present a historical review of two neglected tropical diseases (NTD), namely, onchocerciasis and trachoma, both which were successfully eliminated in Mexico. In addition , we present a cost-effectiveness assessment (CEA) demonstrating that these were worthwhile health interventions. Historically, an estimate of $310.68 and $38.92 per person were spent during the period of time the onchocerciasis and trachoma elimination programs operated, respectively.
