| Inaccessibility of water is a major risk factor for a number of infectious diseases, including trachoma. |
| Another relatively well-defined problem would be: how to establish or measure the prevalence of trachoma in the district? |
| The biggest health problems are tuberculosis, venereal diseases, malaria, trachoma, typhoid fever, and dysentery. |
| Other diseases include hepatitis, trachoma, and tuberculosis. |
| However it also increased the spread of trachoma because handkerchiefs and towels became channels of disease transmission. |
| Among the diseases resulting from poor sanitation, unclean water and poor waste disposal are dysentery, cholera, typhus fever, typhoid, schistosomiasis and trachoma. |
