Guinea worm disease 2020 with the Carter Center's Adam Weiss

The Carter Center announced this week that the number of Guinea worm disease cases dropped by 50% in 2020 compared to 2019. This includes a dramatic decrease in cases in the country of Chad.

What's more, this happened despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
