Fiji has made a major breakthrough in public health by eliminating trachoma, a neglected tropical disease and the world's leading infectious cause of blindness. Trachoma, caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, was once a significant public health problem in Fiji, with widespread disease and risk of blindness documented
Macular degeneration
A groundbreaking clinical trial has resulted in the publication of a peer-reviewed original paper in the New England Journal of Medicine, showcasing the effectiveness of Science Corporation's PRIMA brain-computer interface (BCI) retinal implant. The study demonstrated that PRIMA restored functional central vision to patients suffering from geographic atrophy

Papua New Guinea has achieved a significant milestone in public health by eliminating trachoma as a public health problem, validated by the World Health Organization (WHO). This achievement demonstrates the effectiveness of sustained partnerships and innovative approaches to addressing neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Trachoma, caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis,
