Qatar Creating Vision (QCV), which began in 2016, has provided 5.9 million eye tests to children across India and Bangladesh, where approximately 473,000 children are blind. This new phase of programmes will tackle avoidable blindness in more countries across Asia and will also now improve eye health services in Africa.
In 2018, the initiative was extended to help those struggling with vision loss within the Rohingya and local host community in South East Bangladesh. Demand for services has been incredibly high and in just under two years, we’ve delivered over 150,000 eye tests, treatments and surgeries thanks to their support.
