This effort was aimed at reminding the world of the “other” debilitating diseases that affect 1.7 billion of the poorest people on the planet. These include leprosy, Chagas disease, intestinal worms, dengue and chikungunya, Guinea worm disease, scabies, trachoma and schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis or elephantiasis, yaws, river blindness, sleeping sickness, etc. Among the landmarks participating in the effort were Egypt’s Pyramid of Giza, Italy’s Leaning Tower of Pisa, Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer, United Arab Emirates’ Burj Al Arab and Malaysia’s KL Tower.
