Improve WATSAN and eliminate blinding trachoma
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Jeffrey W. Mecaskey, Sarah HouseThis paper brings together key information and lessons
to-date on trachoma, its transmission routes, prevention
measures and impacts. It aims to encourage a greater
awareness in the practitioners working in the water, hygiene
and sanitation sectors of the potential impacts of their
work on preventing this devastating, but preventable disease.
With minor shifts in WATSAN programme emphasis,
programmes could increase the benefits for the communities
they are working with, whilst at the same time helping
to assure success of the elimination of the world’s leading
cause of preventable blindness.
