Eliminating a Devastating Disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness, is one of the most neglected—and fatal—diseases in the world. Transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly, it is usually deadly if not treated. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) a concerted effort is underway to ensure the disease is eliminated in the country, which will pave the way for ending the disease worldwide.
