The authors say the key to answering that question lie in:
👉 Working together – multi stakeholder collaborations across clinicians, researchers, non-government organisations, governments, funders and the private sector.
👉 Collective action - to ensure the technology reaches the people and communities that need it the most.
👉 Scalability – that technologies are designed from the outset to scale and we move beyond individual pilot projects.
👉 Sustainability – that the technologies are embedded in systems, supporting by the local operating environment, affordable and environmentally friendly.
𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 is one of the 10 priority areas in the #2030InSight strategy. Through the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) Technology Taskforce we are collaborating with leaders in eye care, technology and sustainable development to set directions for the sector, strengthen the network of stakeholders and create resources for successful implementation of Technology for Access in eye care.
