Our team made some remarkable contributions at the 18th annual VISION 2020: The Right to Sight – India conference, held in Ludhiana this July. The conference brought together organizations, hospitals, health research institutes and others to gain a deeper understanding of challenges and opportunities in the eye health field.

Our Global Director of International Programmes Dr. Ritu Ghosh, who recently joined VISION 2020’s board as Vice President, moderated and chaired three sessions during the conference.
