In February, WHO AFRO and IAPB held a consultation workshop in Nairobi attended by eye health experts with the overall objective of validating the core competencies required to inform training and quality of care in the Sub-Saharan Africa region.
The IAPB Vision Atlas documents the severe shortage of eye health professionals in Africa. The development of competency frameworks for ophthalmology, optometry and allied ophthalmic professionals is a critical component of the IAPB Africa HRH Strategy, to address this shortage.
