Thank you very much Neil.

WHO is also launching an initiative for the elimination of cataract blindness. Please visit https://www.who.int/news-room/articles-detail/call-for-public-consultati...

From the HelpMeSee side, we offer several cataract-related courses with Simulation-Based Training, maybe some of you will be interested in learning more about them: https://helpmesee.org/simulation-based-training/
