👁️ "Trachoma causes severe discomfort and agony!" describes Dr Wondu Alemayehu. Trachoma is the world's leading infectious cause of blindness and remains a huge problem in Ethiopia. 💛 But, together, we can help millions of people avoid the risk of permanent blindness from this bacterial infection.

Watch this video and travel into the field with our amazing eye health heroes as they work hard to eliminate trachoma in the Gedeo Zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia. If trachoma is left untreated it can advance to trachomatous trichiasis, a potentially blinding disease. This painful condition causes the eyelashes to turn inwards and scrape the front of the eye with every blink. A big thank you to our supporters, partners, and local teams in Ethiopia for all their hard work #WorldNTDDay #BeatNTDs | Orbis Int
