A global plan aims to eliminate blinding trachoma by 2020 using the SAFE strategy (Surgery, Antibiotics, Facial cleanliness, Environmental improvement). Despite progress, 110 million people remain affected. Urgent scale-up, coordination, funding, and data collection across 1,293 districts are needed. Eliminating trachoma would save millions from blindness, reduce poverty, and significantly improve productivity in endemic regions.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#ffffff” overflow-x=”visible” overflow-y=”visible” custom_padding=”60px|20px|40px|20px|false|true” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”DM Sans|700||on|||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”13px” text_letter_spacing=”1px” background_color=”#ef8451″ positioning=”absolute” position_origin_a=”top_center” vertical_offset=”-5%” text_orientation=”center” width=”100%” max_width=”130px” custom_padding=”10px||10px||true|false” border_radii=”on|50px|50px|50px|50px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
