A few more pictures from the VISION 2020 INDIA conference in Ludhiana. Programme Manager Tapobrat Bhuyan presented a talk entitled "Enhancing Eye Health Access for Women Living in Remote Hilly Terrain of Udhampur District in Jammu & Kashmir," while Project Officer Emmanuel Benia Tanti tackled a similar topic in his talk, "Optimizing Eye Care Services in Hilly Regions." Both have so much hands-on experience to share about the delivery of #eyehealth care to remote and hard-to-reach areas!

About us
For nearly 60 years, we have been working alongside communities to prevent blindness and restore sight. We seek to improve access to quality eye care while also addressing some of the root causes of avoidable blindness, such as gender inequities, inadequate eye care services, long distances to eye health centres and lack of access to clean water, among others. Our programs are designed to provide quality eye health care to all, regardless of age, gender or ability to pay.

We are thrilled to be expanding our Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) program in Moradabad in partnership with the C.L. Gupta Eye Institute - India. Thanks to Rotary International, Rotary Club of Calgary at Stampede Park, Rotary Club of Moradabad East, Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise and our generous #donors, we have provided a new van, mobile screening equipment, and laser treatment equipment to the institute, meaning that we can now reach premature babies in five more districts in the #Moradabad area. #ROP is a serious eye condition that can occur in pre-term babies. It is difficult to detect without proper screening and must be treated early to prevent irreversible vision loss or #blindness. Thanks to this program expansion, we will be able to screen another 1,500 premature infants and provide #treatment for more than 400 of them. The impact of this project on pre-term babies and their families can’t be overstated. Early detection and treatment of ROP are crucial in ensuring a healthier future for these vulnerable infants. By expanding our reach and resources, we are offering hope and improved quality of life to many families who might otherwise face the challenges of visual impairment in their children.

We are also proud to announce that our Global Director of International Programmes Dr Ritu Ghosh has joined the board of VISION 2020 as Vice President.

👞 For many years, Abraham supported his family through his shoe repair business. But when #cataracts impaired his vision, he could no longer work and had to close up shop. Following a visit from a community health volunteer, Abraham travelled to our partner hospital and received cataract surgery free of charge. Now he’s back to repairing shoes and can help support his grandkids once again. https://lnkd.in/gRxZTnie 📷: Caroline Ikumu, MPH
