We were thrilled to attend the #COECSA 11th Annual Congress, in #Zimbabwe, recently! The College of Ophthalmology of Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa (COECSA) brought together eye care professionals from across Africa and beyond for an enriching three days of networking and knowledge-sharing in the eye health field. Orbis speakers shared valuable insights with fellow delegates on critical eye health topics. A big thank you to our amazing team including: - Hilary Twiggs, Director of Clinical Training and Clinical Services – Opportunities in ophthalmology, Young Ophthalmology Forum. Hilary discussed the opportunities and resources available for young ophthalmologists including Cybersight and the Phaco program. - Professor Ciku Mathenge, Regional Medical Advisor – Exam preparation drawing from her personal journey to professorship. - Dr. Alemayehu Sisay, Country Director Orbis Ethiopia – His talk featured statistics, progress made, and the critical need for more partners to join the effort to fully eliminate trachoma across Africa. - Dr. Simon Holland, Orbis Canada Board Chairperson – Corneal advances showcasing best practices emerging from recent studies. - Lucia Mvula Nadaf, Country Director Orbis Zambia – Closing the gender gap in eye health to improve service delivery outcomes for women and girls. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event a success! #COECSA2024 #Africa #Ophthalmology
