The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that Iraq has managed to eliminate trachoma, an eye infection that leads to blindness.
“Happy to announce that Iraq has eliminated trachoma and become the 50th country recognized by the WHO for eliminating a neglected tropical disease, marking the halfway point towards the 100-country target set for 2030,” Director General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said via Twitter.
