NT Trachoma Control and Eye Health Committee. Northern Territory. Dept. of Health

1984

The program expanded greatly in 1983/84. A second Trachoma program Co-ordinator was appointed for the Alice Springs and Barkly Regions. Northern and Southern Co-ordinators have trained regional health workers in screening and teaching programs on all NT Aboriginal communities. As much of the screening was completed in 1982/83, a greater emphasis was placed on the training of Aboriginal health workers, rural doctors and nurses, diagnosis and treatment of trachoma. In-service courses have been held for Aboriginal Health Workers in major communities. Courses on trachoma control have been introduced into the regular orientation of doctors and nurses working in rural areas. The trachoma component in Aboriginal health workers training has been given more emphasis.
