Register today to claim your spot (less than 200 remain) for this exclusive live streamed event with experts who are living and working in Kenya, India, Singapore and Ghana right now.
Moderated by Candice Naylen of Operation Eyesight and Jessica Ferne of the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health, this is a panel discussion about people coming together like never before to innovate and to keep each other safe. Each panelist is an expert in global eye health, but you will hear how they have needed to pivot entirely in times of worldwide crisis to best serve their communities. You will be presented with unique perspectives, expert analysis and front-line insight. And you will hear loud and clear why, now more than ever, the world needs to overcome this immediate crisis and advocate for a healthy future for all.
We can build a more equitable world, but we need to start today. Will you join us?
