Elimination of Trachoma

Elimination of trachoma means reducing the disease to a level where it no longer causes widespread health problems or blindness in a community. This is achieved through a combination of strategies: improving facial hygiene, providing clean water, environmental sanitation, and administering antibiotics to treat infections. When these efforts are consistently applied, the cycle of infection is broken, preventing new cases from developing and existing cases from causing blindness. The goal is to make trachoma no longer a public health issue in affected areas, ultimately helping people lead healthier lives without fear of vision loss.
