Emphasis on prevention and control of trachoma in China

在我国，要达到世界卫生组织提出的2020年前消除可致盲性沙眼的目标，首先需要得到地方各级政府的支持，同时有必要迅速开展全国性沙眼流行病学调查，了解患病情况和相关因素，制定和实施符合我国国情的防治措施；通过加强沙眼的卫生知识宣传，提高受众者的参与度。我国眼科工作者应当为在人口最多的国家中消除可致盲性沙眼做出应有的努力。

In China, in order to complete the goal of the elimination of blinding trachoma before 2020, which is presented by the World Health Organization, several steps should be taken as following. First of all, the support at all levels by government is needed, meanwhile, it is very necessary to perform a national epidemiological study about prevalence and risk factors of trachoma and to make the program of the control of trachoma in line with Chinese national condition. Finally, to promote the participation of people with strengthening the propaganda of public health knowledge about trachoma is also important. More efforts should be taken for elimination of the blinding trachoma in the most populous country before 2020.
