Advocacy Hub

The World Health Organization’s first World Report on Vision represents a highly significant landmark in the effort to achieving universal access to eye health.

Strengthened health systems are essential to scaling-up eye health and reaching those most in need.

IAPB together with its members successfully championed a World Health Assembly Resolution on integrated people-centred eye care.

IAPB’s advocacy recognises eye health as both a health and development issue.

World Sight Day is the most important advocacy and communications day in the eye health calendar.

Integrated people-centred eye care can address many of the challenges to delivering effective eye care services.

The importance of comprehensive eye care means that eye health needs to be a key part of universal health coverage.
