| Project Information: |
It is estimated that 7 million people in Nigeria are infected with onchocerciasis. The screening and Mectizan distribution programme is also active in a limited area of the Federal Capital Territory, which is one of the four states that has been designated to CBM by the National Onchocerciasis Control Programme. Since 2004, the focus has changed to include primary eye care work, cataract outreach surgery for poor patients and trichiasis operations for trachoma patients. The CBM supported ophthalmologist from the Eye Department at Mkar Hospital is involved in carrying out the cataract surgery at the government hospital. |
