Seva at the UN during World Sight Week

For the past year, Kate has participated in the UN Friends of Vision of which Seva is a financially supporting member. This group had a major set of events in New York in mid October at which Suzanne provided Seva representation. The lead events at UN headquarters were a formal roll out of the WHO Strategy for universal eye care through 2030 and a high level briefing on the indicators which are recommended by WHO to gauge progress on the 2030 plans. In addition, a launch event for In Sight 2030 entitled Love Your Eyes was held at the Japan Society with "TED-talk" style pithy presentations and a lot of engagement with members of UN delegations. The thrust throughout all of these events is to mainstream eye care into UN goals for Universal Health Care.
