Kathmandu,Nepal with the theme, “Towards Eradication”. With the collaboration
and participation of human-health and animal-health related organizations, the
culmination of this event was the Kathmandu Declaration on cysticercosisrealizing
an urgency to take action for its prevention and management.Of the 10 points
mentioned in the declaration, all of the keynote speakers and participants on the
conference endorsed the activities on commitment for eliminating cysticercosis,
urgedthe government to internalize its primary responsibility and role in controlling
cysticercosis, and called for the stakeholders for multisectoral collaboration. The
authors believe that this declaration and further action definitely strive towards
meeting the theme of the conference to eradicate cysticercosis with collaboration
among multiple sectors. Several important strategies are also outlined in this article
by expanding the statements on the declaration that must be implemented to
achieve the targeted goal.
