Thank you Federal Ministry of Health, NIGERIA. All eyes on eyes as we mark #WorldSightDay 2023 and #LETNigeriaSEE - good eye sight enables Learning, Earning and Thriving and goes towards achieving the sustainable development goals
A marvellous and fulfilling day as The National Eye Health Programme marked the #LETNigeriaSEE campaign and launched landmark operational documents for eye health in Nigeria.
Thank you WCoSpectacleMakers for triggering the adoption of the #glaucoma toolkit through an @ICEH_LSHTM/Glaucoma-NET grant.
The WHOeyes launched on #WorldSightDay 2023.
