Based on the number of correct answers provided by the patient their he...Trachoma cannot be obliterated with just one dose of antibiotic
A study carried in eight Ethiopian villages for two years found that a single dose of an antibiotic is insufficient to nip infection causing trachoma, which happens to be the// primary cause of blindness. A previous study in one Tanzanian village had seemed to show that a single distribution exercise of one antibiotic was enough to completely negate the infection. A new study has sugg...Google Supports Indian's Novel Literacy Drive
An Indian project meant to strengthen reading skills among neo-literates in a cost-effective manner has found favour with the Google Foundation. // "This is not just any corporation supporting the Same Language Subtitling (SLS) project.
