What is trachoma?

Where are we?
• 110 million people need treatment in confirmed endemic areas– 210 million more live in areas where trachoma is suspected
• Trachoma is suspected to be endemic in 59 countries– 24% of these countries carry 80% of the burden
• Using WHO-endorsed SAFESAFE strategy to eliminate trachoma– Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial cleanliness, Environmental improvements
– Progress is significant- 9 countries have achieved their UIG
• Strong spirit of collaboration among trachoma control programs

How do we get there?
Guiding principles of elimination plan: 1. Urgent need for action
– Aim for fastest possible timeline in each district and focus on high-burden countries
2. Accountable ownership– Countries lead their own elimination process
3. Integration of trachoma-focused efforts – With other NTDs, Vision 2020, F & E initiatives
4. Efficient, coordinated partnerships5. Tailored local interventions
