Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter comforts six-year-old Ruhama Issah at Savelugu Hospital on Feb. 8, 2007, as Adams Bawa, a Carter Center technical assistant, dresses her extremely painful Guinea worm wound.
To end the social and economic consequences associated with this horrific disease, The Carter Center spearheads the international Guinea worm eradication campaign. Since 1986, Guinea worm disease (dracunculiasis) has been reduced by more than 99 percent.

Thanks to this work, Guinea worm is poised to be the next disease eradicated and will be the first to be overcome without a vaccine or medicine.
