The Community Eye Health Institute (CEHI) was established in 2008 with the broad aim to build capacity in public eye health services in sub-Saharan Africa. Through education and training, programme development and research, CEHI aims to promote the application of the principles and techniques of advocacy, strategic leadership and programme management to improve the performance of district, provincial and national prevention of blindness programmes.
The CEHI training centre is situated within the premises of Groote Schuur Hospital, which is adjacent to the Health Sciences Faculty of the University of Cape Town.
The CEHI has a variety of education and training programmes scheduled for 2021 directed at organisations and individuals (e.g. clinicians, managers and support staff) working in prevention of blindness programmes in developing countries.
