Abstract
Active trachoma is not a public health problem in 16 of the 17 surveyed districts, and implementation of the full Surgery (S) - Antibiotics (A) - Facial cleanliness (F) - Environmental improvement (E) strategy is not a programmatic priority. Increased provision of trichiasis surgery is warranted in nine districts.
