Conclusion: Active trachoma is a public health problem and is associated with a number of risk factors such as? in Woliso town. Therefore, we recommend mass antibiotic distribution, and health education on environmental and personal hygiene especially on face washing to every implementing partner. We also recommend further investigations into the behavior and life style of the public in such urban communities to understand why trachoma is still a public health problem despite having access to water and latrines.
