Book Synopsis Informal consultation on end-game challenges for trachoma elimination, Task Force for Global Health, Decatur, United States of America, 7–9 December 2021 by : World Health Organization
Download or read book Informal consultation on end-game challenges for trachoma elimination, Task Force for Global Health, Decatur, United States of America, 7–9 December 2021 written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the WHO-recommended “SAFE” strategy (surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, environmental improvement), considerable progress is being made towards global elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. However, it has become apparent that in a small proportion of districts, despite apparently high-quality local implementation of the SAFE strategy, achieving the active trachoma criterion of elimination as a public health problem has been difficult to achieve. Such districts fall into at least two categories: (1) those in which the prevalence of trachomatous inflammation—follicular in 1–9-year-olds (TF1–9) continues to hover above the elimination threshold of 5% despite interventions; and (2) those in which TF1–9 5% is achieved but subsequently returns to ≥5% during the two-and-a-half-year period of surveillance after antibiotic mass drug administration ceases. How these districts should be managed is presently unclear. Uncertainty is deepened by programmatic reliance on TF1–9 as the WHO-recommended indicator for decision-making; TF prevalence is known to be a lagging marker as the prevalence of infection with trachoma’s causative organism, iChlamydia trachomatis/i, declines, and would likely also lag behind population-level infection recrudescence, too. Health ministries and their partners are keen to find solutions to this problem.brbrIn December 2021, WHO’s Department of Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases convened an informal consultation to allow discussion of the way forward with respect to this issue. This document is the meeting report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trachoma is an infectious eye disease that causes blindness; it is prevalent in many poor rural communities. The World Health Organization has set the year 2020 as the target for global elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. To reach this target, the SAFE strategy (Surgery for trichiasis Antibiotics to treat Chlamydia trachomatis infection, and Facial cleanliness and Environmental improvement to reduce transmission of C. trachomatis from one person to another) is recommended for districts and communities with endemic disease. This guide has been written for managers of national and district trachoma control programs. It sets out, step-by-step, what is needed to assess the magnitude and extent of the trachoma problem in the area and how to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate a program to control, and ultimately eliminate trachoma. Templates for a number of forms recommended for use in a program can be found in the annex. To allow adaptation of the forms for use in a specific program, electronic versions are available on the CD-ROM that accompanies this guide.

The evidence for various preventative measures is assessed, including screening, chemoprophylaxis, vaccination, and strategiesof population behaviour-change. Recommendations for way of implementing these measures are discussed. Issues surrounding implementation are also canvassed: for example, the use of information technology to develop processes that can be integrated into clinical practice to ensure sustainablepreventive routines, and performance indicators for in-service use.
