A Global Pathway to Sustainable Cataract Care by 2045
What must happen between now and 2045 to eliminate preventable cataract blindness?
No single intervention will eliminate cataract blindness. Progress depends on strengthening every link between unmet need and quality care.
The challenge requires a global ecosystem of governments, health systems, training institutions, eye-health organizations, funders, technology partners and others working together to build sustainable capacity.
HelpMeSee is ready to play its part. Are you?
Building the Surgical Workforce Is Essential
One of the most significant barriers to expanding cataract care is the availability of appropriately trained surgical professionals.
HelpMeSee is focused on helping address this constraint through competency-based, simulation-based surgical training designed to expand training capacity, strengthen surgical skills and help prepare trainees for the transition to clinical practice.
But workforce development is only one part of the solution.
That is where partnership becomes essential.
Where Could We Work Together?
HelpMeSee works with partners to build sustainable cataract surgical capacity based on local needs and opportunities.
Training institutions and health systems seeking to expand cataract surgical training capacity
Governments and ministries of health working to strengthen the surgical workforce
Eye-health organizations and NGOs looking to integrate workforce development into broader programs
Funders and corporate partners interested in supporting scalable, sustainable training capacity
Technology and innovation partners with expertise that can advance surgical education
Clinical partners able to help create pathways from training into supervised live surgical experience
Your organization may hold another piece of the pathway.
Let’s explore how our capabilities, resources and expertise could work together toward a shared goal.
