Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Sustainable Development Goals and Disability Issues: Discussion

10:00 am

Ms Sarah O'Toole:

CBM Ireland supports a number of programmes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in one of our key programmes, we work with its ministry of health in a national programme to eradicate river blindness. It is a very significant programme in that country. Some countries have eradicated river blindness by distributing medicine.
