ICEH 40th Anniversary Recording
Channel: ICEH at LSHTM
Date: 2022-04-01

2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the International Centre for Eye Health. 

Throughout our rich history we have strived for research excellence, world-class education and equitable capacity strengthening globally. 

On 31st March 2022 we came together with alumni, partners and eye care workers from across the world for a hybrid event to celebrate our history and look towards our future. From trachoma to diabetic retinopathy and our master's course to our journal we saw the scale and impact of ICEH's legacy and current work. For instance, two-thirds of all ophthalmologists with a PhD in Africa are alumni of ICEH. 

We look forward to continuing to improve eye health worldwide, working closely with our partners and supporters.
