Achieving a Dream

A final round of testing indicates the Dominican Republic – with the Carter Center's help – has eliminated the debilitating disease lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem.

The Carter Center is guided by the principles of our Founders, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. Founded, in partnership with Emory University, on a fundamental commitment to human rights and the alleviation of human suffering, the Center seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health.
