In 2012, pharmaceutical companies, donors, endemic countries, and nongovernment organisations met in London and signed the London Declaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases. Together, they committed to controlling, eliminating or eradicating ten diseases by 2020, and improving the lives of over a billion people. Great progress has been made, and the declaration has achieved many of its goals. Mycetoma was recognised as a neglected tropical disease (NTD) by the World Health Assembly in 2016.
