River blindness: a generational challenge

Описание к видео River blindness: a generational challenge

For generations, river blindness led to millions of permanently losing their sight. Spread by the repeated bites of black flies living near fast moving water, this disease devastated entire villages in Africa.

Now, we know how to treat and prevent this disease. Still, more than 218 million people, according to the World Health Organization, require treatment annually for river blindness. But, we have never been closer to seeing an end to this disease that has caused suffering for millions of people.
