On-site clinics

Bringing those who need further care to tertiary children's hospitals.

Telemedicine Clinics

Connecting remotely with trained local nurses and local youth at community health centers for telemedicine clinics.

Training Local Youth

Customised online and in person program for training local youth as eye technicians for their own communities.

Improving Health Care Access

Using the trust built between ICEE and communities as a conduit for bringing other health care services into remote indigenous communities.
