From 2007-2012, over 5.5 million people received NTD treatments with dramatic results: schistosomiasis prevalence was reduced from 12% to 1.4%, hookworm prevalence dropped from 18% to 2.6%, and trachoma levels dropped from 13% to 3%. The efforts to control schistosomiasis were so successful that Burundi has been selected as a pilot country by the Schistosomiasis Consortium for Operation Research and Evaluation (SCORE) to assess the potential of moving beyond control to elimination. Burundi is a shining example of the possibility of what can be achieved by applying the private sector ingenuity and investment to an integrated and nationally coordinated country-led NTD plan.
