A report on onchocerciasis (also known as river blindness) shows continued global progress towards achieving interruption of transmission of the disease. Data captured during 2019 show that more than 153 million people received treatment through large-scale medicine distribution in areas at risk for transmission. Furthermore, due to the successful completion of past rounds of treatments and surveillance, an estimated 1.8 million people no longer require any further preventive treatment against the disease.
