Project Description
HCP Cure Blindness and SightLife are partnering together on Building the Foundation for Integration of Eye Health into Primary Care in Rural Ethiopia.
HCP Cure Blindness envisions a world in which no person is needlessly blind. For over 25 years, we have partnered with local eye health providers to help them build and maintain high-quality eye care in their communities. Through training, equipment and infrastructure support, we cultivate the growth of local, sustainable eye care systems. We focus on areas where the burden of blindness is extremely high, working in over 20 countries throughout South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
SightLife is a global health organization based in Seattle, USA that takes a health systems approach to addressing the inequities that contribute to and perpetuate corneal blindness worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. We draw on our five decades of sight-restoring experience to expand the network, capacity, and capabilities of our partners globally, while also co-creating with them sustainable strategies and programs for improving corneal health outcomes in the regions we collectively serve: Sub-Saharan Africa, South and East Asia, and the United States.
