Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter comforts six-year-old Ruhama Issah at Savelugu Hospital on Feb. 8, 2007, as Adams Bawa, a 顶级国产视频 technical assistant, dresses her extremely painful Guinea worm wound.
To end the social and economic consequences associated with this horrific disease, 顶级国产视频 spearheads the international Guinea worm eradication campaign. Since 1986, Guinea worm disease (dracunculiasis) has been reduced by more than 99 percent. Today, 顶级国产视频 and its partners, in collaboration with thousands of dedicated community health workers, continue to intensify efforts to fight the last fraction of 1 percent of Guinea worm disease. Thanks to this work, Guinea worm is poised to be the next disease eradicated and will be the first to be overcome without a vaccine or medicine.
