In 1992, the Moroccan Programme for the Prevention of Blindness (Programme Marocain de Lutte contre la Cécité) completed a nationwide survey of the prevalence of visual impairment and its causes in Morocco. Since then, the prevention of trachoma has been a key priority of the Programme for the Prevention of Blindness. In Morocco, blinding trachoma is confined to five southern provinces: Errachidia, Figuig, Ouarzazate, Tata and Zagora. These provinces account for 25% of the total area of the country, with a population of 1,619,000. |
