African Programme For Onchocerciasis Control 1995-2015: model-estimated health impact and cost.

<h4>Background</h4>Onchocerciasis causes a considerable disease burden in Africa, mainly through skin and eye disease. Since 1995, the African Programme for Onchocerciasis Control (APOC) has coordinated annual mass treatment with ivermectin in 16 countries. In this study, we estimate the...
