Timor-Leste Becomes Final Southeast Asian Nation to Eliminate Trachoma, WHO Confirms

The World Health Organization certified Timor-Leste as having eliminated trachoma as a public health problem, making the entire Southeast Asian region trachoma-free and shielding over 2 billion people from the leading infectious cause of blindness. Investigators found no trace of the Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria during house-to-house searches on Atauro Island and countrywide eye-clinic screenings between 2015 and 2017, and a 2025 survey of 4,949 samples from children aged 1-5 across all 13 municipalities confirmed no transmission. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus praised the achievement, while Laos, Nepal, Myanmar, India and others had already reached elimination, putting the global 2030 target within reach.
