2030 In Sight is a systems change strategy. To achieve the goal of ending avoidable sight loss by 2030 and ensuring accessible and affordable services for everyone, everywhere, the eye health sector needs to work differently. We need to move away from vertical ways of working, siloed within health systems and not only integrate eyecare throughout health systems, but also demonstrate the role eye health has to play in other sectors and settings.
The IAPB Young Systems Leader awards seek to raise the profile of early-career eye health professionals who demonstrate an aptitude and motivation to drive a systems mindset through their work – whether through their organisation, peers, or own professional development.
After reviewing nominations from all over the world, 8 individuals were selected by the IAPB Regional Chairs and Executive Committee as IAPB Young Systems Leader Award Winners in 2026. All exceptional in their work and their commitment to eye health, the winners clearly demonstrated how they embraced new and different ways of working to drive progress.
The winners are:
Senior Registrar and Academic Coordinator, Sindh Institute of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences (SIOVS)
Young Systems Leader Award winners will participate in an award programme which includes complimentary registration to 2030 INSIGHT LIVE, Kenya and the pre-event workshops. The awardees will form part of the Young Systems Leaders alumni and will be encouraged to connect with likeminded IAPB members and engage in IAPB activities going forwards.
