The new and completely upgraded IAPB Valued Supplier Scheme Website was launched in 2021, with a fresh design and many new features, making for a contemporary and easy-to-use user experience.
Our ambition is to assist buyers, particularly those from low- and middle-income countries make informed procurement decisions from our IAPB Valued Suppliers.
Peter Holland, IAPB CEO said, “the Valued Supplier scheme brings together quality eye care suppliers and showcases products best suited for eye care delivery in a public health setting. The website fills a critical gap in the sector, and I am delighted that the new design and added features add considerable improvements to a much-loved IAPB service.”
The website has a host of new features:
