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. Lajmmoore (talk) 19:27, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
