مستخلص: Trachoma is a neglected tropical disease that causes an eye infection which can lead to blindness if left untreated. In 1998, the World Health Organisation (WHO) launched a new goal to eradicate trachoma by 2020. Over the years, in partnership with the WHO, an effective strategy plan was devised to help tackle and control the disease. This involved surgery for trichiasis, antibiotic treatment, facial cleanliness, and environmental improvement (SAFE). Consequently, the number of people affected by trachoma has significantly decreased in recent times. Despite this, trachoma remains a major public health concern in 44 countries worldwide, including Nigeria. Although improvements have been seen throughout Nigeria, the disjointed application of the SAFE strategy has delayed progress compared to other countries. Providing quality treatment to those with trachoma, in addition to improving preventative measures are challenges faced throughout the country. However, a multi-pronged approach emulating the methods of other countries is recommended to achieve trachoma elimination. This review aims to evaluate the progress and challenges faced in Nigeria with regards to eliminating trachoma.
