  "abstract": "‘Scorpion sting envenomation meets all the criteria to be recognised as a neglected tropical disease, yet it remains overlooked and excluded from the official WHO list of neglected tropical diseases. The lack of formal recognition is, in itself, a barrier to achieving global health equity and preventing avoidable deaths in vulnerable communities, particularly among children in tropical and subtropical regions across the globe’, argue Carlos Castillo-Salgado and colleagues.",
