They primarily affect populations living in low-income countries and include malaria, tuberculosis, and diarrhoeal diseases. Public and philanthropic funding is required to develop new health technologies to control these diseases. While funding from public-private partnerships helped to bring 37 new treatments for neglected diseases to market between 2000 and 2011, this represented just 4% of all new therapeutic products registered during this period.

Methods of Melanoma Detection
Melanoma significantly contributes to the burden of cancer in Australia, where it is the third most common cancer in adults and the most common cancer in young Australians (aged 15–39 years). 1 The incidence of melanoma in Australia has increased considerably over recent decades, with the age‐standardised incidence rate increasing by 181% between 1982 and 2016, from 26.8 per 100 000 annually to an estimated 48.7 cases per 100 000 annually (59.9 for males and 39.2 for females), respectively. 1 In 2017, an estimated 13 941 new cases of melanoma were diagnosed and an estimated 1839 people died of melanoma in Australia. 1 Based on estimates from New South Wales, melanoma costs the Australian health care system about $500 million per year. 2 Early detection of melanoma is critical, as thinner primary tumours are associated with enhanced survival. 3 Therefore, strategies to improve early detection are important to reduce melanoma‐rela...
