The Working Group held its second technical meeting virtually on 19 September 2023. The main outcomes of the meeting were to expand the scope of drug efficacy monitoring to include other neglected tropical diseases and to seek synergy in addressing common issues and challenges across diseases for procurement and supply chain management. In addition to the Working Group’s members, observers, invited guests and the WHO secretariat attended the meeting. This publication contains the report of the meeting and its recommendations to STAG, which will be helpful as a reference and of use to the wider NTD community.
