Health Systems Research Projects

In order to address the challenge of global eye health, eye health services must be able to reach, diagnose, refer, treat and rehabilitate everyone with sight loss. This requires comprehensive health systems that have primary, secondary and tertiary clinics that are well-equipped, well-staffed and integrated with each other.

Much of our research goes towards improving health systems and integrating eye care within them.
