How many Surayyas are needed?

Case finders like Surayya are the backbone of the work we do.

We’ve made great progress in the fight against trachoma and other avoidable causes of blindness. But that wouldn’t be possible without a vast network of hard-working and dedicated individuals.

In rural communities like Zuwaira’s, case finders like Surayya go door to door, helping to identify cases and ensuring people get the treatment they need.

Our local partners recruit people in their communities who are already involved in local healthcare. They are trusted members of their community who, equipped with sanitiser and protective equipment, screen for cases of advanced trachoma or trichiasis.
