One hundred landmarks in 34 countries, including the iconic SM Mall of Asia Globe in the Philippines, recently lit up for World NTD Day to highlight neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) which affect more than 1.7 billion worldwide, including 1 billion children.

The Great Wall of China, Niagara Falls in Canada, The Colosseum and Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, the Carter Presidential Library in the U.S., and the Windmills of Kinderdijk in The Netherlands were among the iconic landmarks that participated in the global light up for the third annual World NTD Day. Several monuments, universities, and notable buildings were also lit up in Abu Dhabi, where World NTD Day was originally announced in 2019.
