Special populations, including refugees, internally displaced persons, indigenous and nomadic communities, vary significantly in terms of their cultural practices, spoken languages, and socioeconomic and political status. However, many special populations share common challenges in accessing eye health services, including interventions for trachoma, the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness. This case study presents experiences from Colombia to improve access to trachoma interventions for indigenous populations living in the Amazon.
