Seeing a Vibrant Future (Oct. 18, 2018)

Trachoma is a leading cause of blindness, yet it is easily prevented with a readily available antibiotic, and its effects often can be halted with a short surgical procedure. For 20 years, The Carter Center has helped lead the charge against trachoma, but we are not alone.

Hear what the Center, the International Trachoma Initiative, and other partners are doing to control this painful disease and learn about Atlanta’s ever-expanding role in the battle to improve global health locally and abroad.

Moderator:
- Teya Ryan, CEO and President of Georgia Public Broadcasting

Panelists:
- Kelly Callahan, director of the Carter Center's Trachoma Program
- Jason Carter, chairman of the Carter Center Board of Trustees
- Paul Emerson, director of the International Trachoma Initiative

Founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and former First Lady Rosalynn Carter in partnership with Emory University, The Carter Center is committed to advancing human rights and alleviating unnecessary human suffering. The Center wages peace, fights disease, and builds hope worldwide.
