Neglected tropical diseases and the millennium development goals: why the "other diseases" matter: reality versus rhetoric.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In the last decades, the enormous influx of immigrants to industrialized countries has led to outbreaks of parasitic diseases, with enteric infections being amongst the most frequently encountered. In its strategy to control such infection, Qatar has established the Pre-Employment Certificate (PEC) program w...
