Vision for a Nation Foundation (VFAN) has partnered with the Brien Holden Vision Institute to conduct a feasibility assessment in Ghana.
The research will assess the potential for developing primary eye care services in the West African nation and will involve consultations with Ghana’s Ministry of Health. Dr Anne Ebri, the Brien Holden Vision Institute’s Sub-Regional Manager for West Africa, is leading the research.
The research is part of VFAN’s efforts to scale its ground-breaking Rwanda programme to other countries in Africa and Asia. It is being funded by UBS Optimus Foundation as a component of its $1.7 million grant for VFAN’s Rwanda programme.
