Caption:
Captured in 2016, this image depicted a Haitian healthcare worker collecting blood from a local resident, in the Haitian town of Limbe, for purposes of conducting a lymphatic filariasis (LF) survey. The elimination of LF in the Americas, is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) winnable battle. Through mass drug administration (MDA), the global community has made great progress towards eliminating LF, as a public health problem. In support of this, CDC has partnered with Haiti’s Ministry of Public Health and Population (Ministere de la Sante Publique et de la Population), to determine if the disease is still circulating in Limbe, in Northern Haiti. Health workers collected blood from community members for filariasis testing at a central laboratory.
