  • ... that during efforts to eradicate smallpox between 1968 and 1979, the World Health Organization's WER allowed frontline workers to appraise their own work and compare it with others? the WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record to publish clear and concise country-by-country updates on smallpox incidence, special problems and solutions: fieldworkers could see how they were doing compared with other states and countries [1]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: I prefer ALT1 - but it took me a click to realise neglected tropical diseases were 'a thing' - I wonder if adding (NTDs) at the end of hook, makes that clearer? Will leave for promoter to decide. Article is new enough, long enough, and hook is cited, a qpq is done, and I can't see any problems with neutrality.
