Driven by a wealth of community-based data, we are contributing to a global body of health research and informing national eye health policies.
In 2024, we launched two research initiatives to identify learnings and to share our findings. In partnership with the Pragyaan Sustainable Health Outcomes (PRASHO) Foundation we started an evaluation of the survey tools that we use and an assessment of our Avoidable Blindness-Free methodology and its effectiveness. We look forward to sharing our findings with you!
Award-winning presentations at VISION 2020: The Right to Sight – India conference
Our team contributed four presentations to the VISION 2020 The Right to Sight – India conference, which brought together organizations, hospitals, research institutes and others to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities across the eye health field. We submitted four presentations.
Senior Programme Manager Tapobrat Bhuyan and Project Officer Emmanuel Benia Tanti presented.
