Join us for this exciting webinar on the Central African Republic's efforts to work towards the elimination of onchocerciasis, given logistical and external challenges such as environmental factors and political instability that have contributed to the displacement of almost a fifth of the Central African population. Recently, improved security in certain areas is expected to allow voluntary repatriation and returns to stabilized areas will increase.
