OPC’s impact continues long after its project supervision comes to an end after 2-3 years. The ophthalmic training and knowledge shared, health systems strengthened, and the surgical centers equipped continue to serve and benefit thousands of more people each year. We are proud that beyond our direct impact, the results of our projects continue to grow sustainably under Ministries of Health ownership.
