On November 5, Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter joined Pfizer to commemorate the 15th Anniversary of the International Trachoma Initiative (ITI), an independent, not-for-profit program dedicated to the elimination of blinding trachoma as a public health concern. Trachoma is an infectious eye disease that is a leading cause of blindness and suffering in the poorest regions of the world. Pfizer, through the ITI, has donated more than 340 million doses of antibiotics to prevent and treat trachoma in support of the World Health Organization-led Global Alliance for the Elimination of Trachoma by the year 2020. The Carter Center, a not-for-profit health and human rights organization founded by Carter and his wife Rosalynn, is an ITI partner.
