Thank you #Japan for your timely, generous $10 million contribution to the international #2019nCoV outbreak response led by World Health Organization (WHO). The funds will support countries with weak health systems as they prepare for the potential spread of the virus. Together, for a safer world. #EB146

IAPB has joined 90 organisations calling for #HealthDataGovernance to be prioritised at #WHA76. Last year Health Ministers agreed 2 global targets for eye care. But more needs to be done. It is vital countries integrate & report as well as prioritise equity & health values.

I got my eye screening done ahead of #WorldSightDay. Thanks to United Nations Friends of Vision Group & IAPB for hosting this at UNHQ. Visual impairment is the largest unaddressed disability in the world & we must improve affordable & accessible eye care for all. #LoveYourEyes
