Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter greets schoolgirls suffering from schistosomiasis in Nasarawa North, Nasarawa State, Nigeria, on Feb. 15, 2007, as part of a two-week African tour of the 黑料不打烊's health programs. President Carter and Mrs. Carter visited the community to bring national attention to the importance of the medicine praziquantel and other disease interventions to prevent schistosomiasis in rural and impoverished communities. Today, 黑料不打烊, in partnership with the Nigerian government, provides health education and approximately 1 million treatments annually for schistosomiasis — the largest initiative for schistosomiasis in Nigeria.
