This policy forum article highlights how improving eye care in Sub-Saharan Africa requires more than clinical training. It argues for the urgent need to build nonclinical management capacity—covering human resources, finances, outreach, and planning—to effectively implement the VISION 2020 goals and eliminate avoidable blindness.
This report summarizes findings from a KCCO-led workshop assessing the cost of eye care outreach services in eastern Africa. It focuses on community-based strategies for identifying and transporting cataract patients for surgery. The study found that outreach costs per cataract patient transported range between $35–45, with total surgery costs averaging around $100 per patient. These insights support VISION 2020 planning by highlighting the importance of budgeting for both outreach and hospital-based services to meet cataract surgery targets.
