OUR MISSION: To advance global thinking and accelerate progress towards disease elimination
GLIDE works to elevate awareness of and engagement with specific diseases of focus – these are malaria, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, and polio. We link disease elimination efforts at global, regional, and national levels with other relevant global health priorities.
