FUTURE PLANS

As we all continue to battle the uncertainty caused by this global health crisis, Mission for Vision remains committed towards strengthening quality eye care systems for communities in need. In line with the World Health Organization’s (WHO) commitment towards integrated people-centred eye care (IPEC), we plan to establish 250 Vision Centres under the Mission Jyot umbrella. The Vision Centre approach has significant potential in seamlessly reaching out to communities in remote locations and will help reinforce the global strategy on vision

On the similar vein of IPEC, Mission for Vision has joined hands with several partners to establish eye health centres that will provide quality affordable eye care and help us in eradicating avoidable blindness among these vulnerable groups. Some of the upcoming projects are:

R Jhunjhunwala Sankara Eye Hospital in Panvel, Maharashtra in partnership with Sankara Eye Foundation, Wen Giving Foundation and several others.

Establishment of operation theatre complex at Balasore, Odisha and Sircilla, Telangana in partnership with L.V. Prasad Eye Institute and Wen Giving Foundation.

Secondary eye hospital in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh in collaboration with Dr. Shroff Charity Eye Hospital and Israni Investments Co Ltd.

Training centre for Allied Ophthalmic Personnel in partnership with Siliguri Greater Lions Eye Hospital and Wen Giving Foundation.

Initiate a new programme to address the issue of retinoblastoma (a form of eye cancer) among young children; new-born infants to 6 years of age.

All of these initiatives take us closer to the goal of eliminating needless blindness and reinvent our agenda towards eye care in a resilient manner.
