Antibiotics for eye disease are saving Ethiopia’s children
A new study shows that an antibiotic treatment given to save children’s eyesight is actually saving their lives. Antibiotics administered for Trachoma, a bacterial eye infection that is the world’s leading preventable cause of blindness, are actually treating other ailments and reducing Ethiopia’s high rates of child mortality.
Producer Gary Strieker reports from Ethiopia’s Amhara region where 60 percent of children suffer from Trachoma.
