“…International concern for 'neglected' diseases can be tracked from European colonial anxieties about the perceived dangers of 'tropical diseases' in their colonies (Gold 2021) to the establishment in the 1970s of the 'Great Neglected Diseases of Mankind' programme by the Rockefeller Foundation. The Rockefeller Foundation's attempt to coordinate interdisciplinary research, development, and technological innovations in addressing 'tropical diseases' lost momentum, and by the end of the twentieth century it was estimated that, globally, less than 10% of spending on health research was dedicated to diseases or conditions that account for 90% of the global disease burden (Morel 2003).…”

‘Neglect’ is a lucrative concept attracting billions of US dollars in research and development funding and transforming what is prioritised in global health. Stemming from a wider project aiming to improve healthcare at the intersection of gender and protracted displacement amongst Somali and Congolese internally displaced people and refugees, this article unpacks conceptualisations of ‘neglect’ in relation to mental health. Drawing on interviews with people with professional mental health expertise and/or lived experience of displacement, this article makes three contributions. First, we argue that ‘neglect’ must be considered in the context of competing health priorities and health-seeking behaviours, particularly given the additional challenges associated with disruption to social care networks in protracted displacement contexts. Second, we illustrate ‘neglect’ in light of our respondents’ distinctions between overt bodily expressions of distress that are socially disruptive and more internalised expressions of distress that are more socially containable. Third, we unpack the intersectional ‘neglect’ of women and girls by sexual violence’s distinctive confluence of social withdrawal with strategies of containment to avoid social disruption.
