ELIMINATING ONCHOCERCIASIS SEEMS POSSIBLE
Onchocerciasis is the world’s second leading infectious cause of blindness, responsible for at least one million blind or disabled people. It is endemic in 30 sub-Saharan African countries where 99% of all those infected live. It is remarkable to note, therefore, that it now seems likely that onchocerciasis will be eliminated as a public health problem by the end of this decade. The success of the onchocerciasis control programme gives hopes that other projects involving global and multiple partnerships, addressing healthcare problems related to poverty and other social and environmental problems, will be just as successful.
