The government of Zimbabwe, with help from U.N. agencies and Western donors, is trying to eliminate so-called "neglected tropical diseases" that affect mainly children. At Tsungubvi Primary School, about 80 kilometers south of Harare, the government has launched a program of eliminating "neglected tropical diseases." Lazarus Dokora, Zimbabwe's education minister is trying to persuade parents that the drugs being administered will not affect their children. According to the U.N., nearly 70 percent of rural households in Zimbabwe do not have modern sanitation facilities, and about 40 percent of them practice open defecation. Dr. Portia Manangazira, Zimbabwe's chief disease control official in the Ministry of Health, said those statistics are worrying. "These drugs are not cheap - of course the prices have gone down. But you still not want to treat the same person over and over again," said Manangazira. Zimbabwe lacks the cash to undertake such initiatives, so for now, doctors will try to control the diseases, in hopes the underlying problems can be dealt with in the future.
