Earlier this year, WSP co-facilitated a workshop at the Kiribati Parliament to launch the integrated scabies and trachoma MDA. The workshop was held for parliamentarians to show how they can support the integrated MDA and tackle communicable diseases in Kiribati. It was an honour to be able to speak to all of the attendees about the prevalence of scabies in Kiribati, provide information on the MDA and a demonstration of the dosing.

Thank you to all of the parliamentarians, Ministry Of Health & Medical Services-Kiribati, Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), The Fred Hollows Foundation, Global Health Channel by GLIDE, and the health partners who attended the event and supported the MDA in Kiribati!
