About
The Carter Center Health Programs fight six preventable diseases - Guinea worm, Trachoma, Schistosomiasis, Lymphatic filariasis, Malaria, and River blindness - by using health education and simple, low-cost methods. The Center also strives to improve access to mental health care. These efforts have brought to resource-limited countries better disease surveillance and health care delivery systems, many established as part of the Center's historic campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease. Because communities often are burdened by several diseases, the Center also is pioneering new public health approaches to efficiently and effectively treat multiple diseases at once.
