About this Gateway
TDR: Building the Science of Solutions
TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) is a global programme of scientific collaboration established in 1975. Our mission is to support effective and innovative global health research, through strengthening the research capacity of disease-affected countries, and promoting the translation of evidence into interventions that reduce the burden of infectious diseases and build resilience in the most vulnerable populations. TDR is hosted at the World Health Organization (WHO), and is sponsored by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the World Bank and WHO.
Scope of the TDR Gateway
The TDR Gateway publishes articles, data sets, posters, slides and documents from authors in our global programme of scientific collaboration that help facilitate, support and influence efforts to combat diseases of poverty. The TDR Gateway publishes peer-reviewed articles, which are indexed by PubMed and fully compliant with the WHO open access policy. The use of the TDR Gateway to publish is entirely voluntary. We have created the resource to offer greater choice to our researchers.
Gateway Advisors
The TDR Gateway is advised by our Scientific Working Groups as part of the overall TDR system of consultations and horizon scanning to assess needs and bring in the highest level of scientific oversight and input.

Gateway Areas
This collection of papers reports on research undertaken by front-line health workers in Sierra Leone on the impact the 2014/15 Ebola outbreak had on their health system and service delivery. Supported by the TDR SORT IT initiative, the authors compared service delivery before, during and after the Ebola outbreak looking at staffing in public health facilities, pediatric morbidity and mortality, management of malaria and non-communicable diseases and the performance of community health workers.
These studies provides one of the first assessments of the longer-term legacy of Ebola on health systems.
