Trachoma is a disease affecting rural communities, leading to blindness if untreated. The International Trachoma Initiative aims to combat this disease in several countries with antibiotics and surgery. Research shows promising results, especially in Morocco, with hopes to eliminate trachoma globally by 2020, supported by Pfizer's donation of Zithromax.
