Sleeping Sickness Control Programme

The Sleeping Sickness Control Programme focuses on combating African sleeping sickness, a serious disease caused by parasites transmitted through tsetse fly bites. The program involves early detection and treatment of infected individuals, public education on prevention, and measures to reduce tsetse fly populations. Key elements include community engagement, access to healthcare, and surveillance efforts. By addressing both the health impacts and the ecological factors contributing to the disease, the program aims to reduce transmission and improve the well-being of affected populations, ultimately working towards the goal of eliminating sleeping sickness.
