“I have never received training on eye health before. Now, I have learned the risk factors for developing NCDs and the impact of high blood pressure and diabetes on eye health, and I feel confident to provide counseling, screening, and basic treatment for these conditions." ~ Ms. Chheav Sokunthea, a midwife at Krang Ampil Health Center, Cambodia. Today marks the start of the Global Week for Action on #NCDs. #ActOnNCDs #TimeToLead #LeadOnNCDs Pictured: Ms. Chheav Sokunthea (Left) speaks to a CHAI staff

NPR's "The Indicator by Planet Money" investigated why half a billion people couldn't access eyeglasses and the economic solution to their shortage🎧👉: https://lnkd.in/e_6ngx85 Unaddressed vision loss due to presbyopia can be easily corrected with eyeglasses but lack of access leads to an estimated $410 billion in economic losses annually. In many low- and middle-income countries, insufficient awareness, limited supply, and high costs prevent individuals from obtaining affordable eyeglasses. Dr Oteri Eme Okolo MBBS, MSc (PHEC) FMCOphth, FWACS, National Coordinator of the National Eye Health Program in #Nigeria says that eyeglasses don't just benefit older people with vision issues, but also younger ones in their prime working years. "I've seen enormous improvements because now I can see clearly (with my eyeglasses). I even came with my needle this morning because I was not able to fix my thread through my needle, and this morning I was able to." says Karaleen Isaiah from Kogi State, Nigeria who works as a seamstress, a beneficiary of the program. Increasing awareness, supply chains, and free or low-cost glasses foster self-sustaining markets to meet this urgent health and economic need. Access to eyeglasses is a health issue, a social issue and an economic issue rolled into one. It's also solvable, and CHAI and its partners are working to do so. #WorldSightDay #CHAI #NPR #Accessibility #DisabilityInclusion #AssistiveTech

This World Sight Day emphasizes the importance of eye care for young people. Eyeglasses are critical for learning and improve well-being and livelihood. As countries increasingly focus on prevention, opportunities arise to integrate targeted, cost-effective vision screening. Together with partners ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology, EYElliance, The Fred Hollows Foundation, Livelihood Impact Fund, OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, Peek Vision, RestoringVision and Vision Catalyst Fund, CHAI is working with governments in Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda to cost-effectively scale access to glasses, leveraging the existing workforce. We are working in other countries to support access to assistive technology, providing a platform for expanding this work. #WorldSightDay #CHAI #AssistiveTech #Accessibility Photo credit: Eyelliance

Climate change has challenged our ability to predict malaria transmission. Mozambique is one of many examples—the onset, duration, and magnitude of the malaria transmission season have changed, impacting the effectiveness of interventions. The government is now trialing an early warning system with the potential to prevent epidemics and save valuable resources by predicting future surges in malaria transmission and enabling targeted, timely response. Mozambique is still integrating the system into its existing malaria information system—though it's far too soon to evaluate full impacts, the system has the potential to predict outbreaks up to 8 weeks in advance.

CHAI's Andrew Storey participated in a session exploring novel solutions to the growing health impacts of climate change at the recently ended #UNGA79 Science Summit. Andrew discussed the critical role of climate financing and the urgent need for integration within existing health systems. Using Uganda's Health-National Adaption Plan (H-NAP) as a case study, he demonstrated how countries can integrate climate resilience into health strategies. Learn more: https://ow.ly/2Gk050TFnih 📋Here are some notes from his presentation: Emerging evidence highlights the escalating dangers climate change—especially extreme heat and air pollution—poses to pregnant women and newborns. In many of the high-burden countries where CHAI operates, this growing climate crisis is converging with stagnant maternal and neonatal health outcomes, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities. 🤝CHAI is partnering with governments to drive resilience and adaptation strategies into maternal and newborn health services, creating powerful momentum and a model for global action. Key Insights: 🌟Integrate Climate and Health Investments: Strengthen existing health systems by linking investment and embedding climate adaptation strategies—avoiding siloed, short-term fixes. 🌟Government Leadership is Crucial: Ministries of Health must lead coordinated efforts to ensure long-term sustainability and meaningful impact. 🌟Leverage Proven Solutions: Integrated approaches are not only effective—they save lives. By aligning climate and health initiatives, we can build resilient, sustainable systems that protect the most vulnerable. Together, we have the power to change the future for mothers and newborns around the world. INFORM Africa Hub DS-I Africa #ClimateChange #ClimatexHealth #MaternalHealth #ChildHealth
