D’une maladie qui frappait des territoires entiers \u00e0 une transmission presque ma\u00eetris\u00e9e, le pays \u00e9crit l’une des plus grandes r\u00e9ussites sanitaires d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Pendant des d\u00e9cennies, elle a avanc\u00e9, emportant avec elle des espoirs et des regards.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’onchocercose, surnomm\u00e9e \u00ab\u00a0c\u00e9cit\u00e9 des rivi\u00e8res\u00a0\u00bb,<\/em> a longtemps \u00e9t\u00e9 une menace silencieuse pour des milliers de communaut\u00e9s rurales togolaises. Mais au fil des ann\u00e9es, la science, la mobilisation communautaire et la pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance sanitaire ont chang\u00e9 le cours de l’histoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D’une maladie qui couvrait autrefois plus de 73 % du territoire national, le Togo est aujourd’hui aux portes d’une victoire historique : interrompre d\u00e9finitivement la transmission du parasite responsable de l’onchocercose d’ici 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un pass\u00e9 pas trop glorieux<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il y a quelques d\u00e9cennies encore, les rivi\u00e8res n’\u00e9taient pas seulement des sources de vie. Elles portaient aussi le risque d’une maladie d\u00e9vastatrice. Transmise par la piq\u00fbre de simulies, de petits insectes vivant \u00e0 proximit\u00e9 des eaux rapides, l’onchocercose pouvait provoquer de graves atteintes cutan\u00e9es, des d\u00e9mangeaisons chroniques et, dans les cas les plus s\u00e9v\u00e8res, une perte irr\u00e9versible de la vue.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Peut<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Au Togo, cette maladie a longtemps constitu\u00e9 un d\u00e9fi majeur de sant\u00e9 publique. Elle \u00e9tait autrefois end\u00e9mique sur 73,21 % du territoire national, affectant particuli\u00e8rement les populations install\u00e9es dans les zones riveraines et rurales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mais le pays a engag\u00e9 une bataille de longue haleine. Une bataille o\u00f9 chaque traitement distribu\u00e9, chaque campagne communautaire et chaque action de surveillance ont contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 repousser progressivement l’ennemi invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le pari r\u00e9ussi de la pr\u00e9vention massive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

La lutte contre l’onchocercose au Togo repose notamment sur la distribution massive de m\u00e9dicaments, en particulier l’Ivermectine, dans les zones concern\u00e9es. Pendant plusieurs ann\u00e9es, les campagnes de traitement de masse ont permis de r\u00e9duire consid\u00e9rablement la pr\u00e9sence du parasite dans les populations expos\u00e9es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette strat\u00e9gie, combin\u00e9e au suivi \u00e9pid\u00e9miologique et \u00e0 l’implication des communaut\u00e9s, a produit des r\u00e9sultats remarquables. En 2016 d\u00e9j\u00e0, l’Organisation mondiale de la sant\u00e9 (OMS) estimait que le Togo avait r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 ramener la pr\u00e9valence de la maladie \u00e0 un niveau proche de z\u00e9ro, le rapprochant ainsi de l’\u00e9tape de l’\u00e9limination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cette performance a plac\u00e9 le pays parmi les nations africaines ayant enregistr\u00e9 des avanc\u00e9es majeures dans la lutte contre cette maladie tropicale n\u00e9glig\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De la ma\u00eetrise de la maladie \u00e0 l’interruption de la transmission. En 2025, le constat est que l’objectif ultime n’est pas encore totalement atteint. Cependant, le pays a franchi une \u00e9tape d\u00e9cisive : dans certains foyers, la transmission a \u00e9t\u00e9 interrompue. Cette \u00e9volution a permis l’arr\u00eat des traitements de masse dans des zones sp\u00e9cifiques, signe que la dynamique \u00e9pid\u00e9miologique a profond\u00e9ment chang\u00e9. L’avanc\u00e9e repr\u00e9sente un tournant majeur.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Une victoire sanitaire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Des milliers de vies se trouvent transform\u00e9es. La lutte contre l’onchocercose n’a pas seulement permis de pr\u00e9server la vue. Elle a aussi contribu\u00e9 \u00e0 lib\u00e9rer des communaut\u00e9s rurales d’une peur ancienne et \u00e0 renforcer leur capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 vivre et travailler autour des espaces qui \u00e9taient autrefois associ\u00e9s au danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La r\u00e9ussite togolaise repose \u00e9galement sur un principe essentiel : aucune \u00e9limination durable d’une maladie ne peut se faire sans l’adh\u00e9sion des populations. Les relais communautaires, les agents de sant\u00e9 et les acteurs locaux ont jou\u00e9 un r\u00f4le d\u00e9terminant dans l’administration des traitements, la sensibilisation et la surveillance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aujourd’hui, le Togo regarde vers l’avenir avec une ambition claire : interrompre d\u00e9finitivement la transmission de l’onchocercose sur l’ensemble du territoire national d’ici 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
