LIBERIA

We began working in Liberia in 2016. Located at the JFK Medical Centre in Monrovia, the Liberia Eye Centre is operated by our partner, the L V Prasad Eye Institute.

To support the Liberia Eye Health Initiative, we empowered the facility to expand the capacity of its staff through on-the-job and residency training. This helped ensure the facility was able to provide comprehensive and advanced eye health care to patients regardless of their ability to pay.

Through a cost-recovery model, proceeds from patients who are able to pay for services help support the cost of providing care to patients who are unable to pay.

As part of the initiative, our ophthalmology residency training program trained seven ophthalmologists, including three new candidates in 2022.
