Hotez, Sabin president, Baker Institute fellow in disease and poverty and dean of the Baylor College of Medicine National School of Tropical Medicine, speaks about the potential benefits and challenges of engaging the Middle East, Pakistan and China in science diplomacy to relieve the shared burden of NTDs.
