Summary. Developing countries increasingly possess the capacity to undertake health innovation and address neglected diseases affecting their populations.

The paper argues that enabling health innovation networks within developing countries themselves offers a complementary and essential strategy to improve health equity and tackle neglected tropical diseases.
