International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB)’s Post

Tune in for the Launch of the WHO SPECS 2030 initiative & the inaugural meeting of the Global SPECS Network! Did you know uncorrected refractive error is the leading cause of vision impairment globally? Yet, only 36% have access to proper spectacles. It's time for change! At the Seventy-fourth World Health Assembly, WHO Member States set a historic target: a 40% increase in effective coverage of refractive error by 2030. Now, to support Member States with the achievement of the global target, WHO is taking action with the SPECS 2030 initiative. Tune in on 14 May 2024 from 09:00 to 12:20 (CEST) and join the World Health Organization as they bring together key stakeholders with the objectives to: ✨ Launch the WHO SPECS 2030 initiative ✨ Welcome the Global SPECS Network members ✨ Introduce new resources for implementation ✨ and more. This event isn't just about goals—it's about solutions! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dFnQNz2F #WHO #Event #EyeCare #Specs2030 #2030InSight
