Human resources (HR) for eye health is a key pillar for World Health Organization (WHO) and International Agency for Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) VISION 2020: The Right To Sight and has also been recognized as priority in the WHO Global Action Plan 2014-19. One of the objectives of GAP is to develop and maintain a sustainable workforce for providing comprehensive eye care. This includes recruitment, training, career development and retention.
