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.

The Friends of Vision group of United Nations Member States consists of country representatives, including at Ambassador level, from more than 50 countries.

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.
