IAPB believes that advancing on eye health within universal health coverage (UHC) and strengthened health systems is essential to scaling-up eye health and reaching those most in need. Universal Health Coverage (UHC) means that all people have access to the health services they need, when and where they need them, without financial hardship.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action to build a healthier world for the entire population and the environment by 2030. The 17 SDGs and 169 targets are integrated which mean they recognise that action in one area will affect outcomes in the others.

IAPB’s advocacy works closely with the United Nations to develop and embed systems change across both the eye care sector and as a development issue. The Friends of Vision group of United Nations Member States consists of country representatives, including at Ambassador level, from more than 50 countries.
