IAPB Africa Regional Workshop: Systems leadership in eye health

Save the date: 20 August 2024
08h30 – 12h00
Elephant Hills Hotel, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

There are 1.1 billion people around the world living with the consequences of sight loss because they do not have access to eye care services. These are some of the poorest and most marginalised in society. Without change, this will rise to 1.8 billion people by 2050.
We will have to work differently to make sure eyesight receives the global political, health and development priority it needs and deserves. We need to invest in the new generation of leaders in eye health and ensure they have the understanding, skills, and connections to drive this progress.
Join us for an IAPB half-day workshop in the margins of the 11th Congress of The College of Ophthalmology of Eastern Central and Southern Africa (COECSA) to explore:
• Systems leadership in eye health
• Transforming health systems
• Challenges in systems leadership

Please note that the workshop will be held in English, and travel and accommodation to the COECSA Congress is not provided. RSVP to [email protected] or [email protected]
