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
