Activating Global Issues at a National and Regional Level

Let's look beneath the bonnet of the Global Summit.

There is an engine of policies and initiatives driving national action. But how do we fuel that action? What global policies are driving national leadership and how are we bringing them together in a Summit framework?

Hear from the WHO, along with national and regional actors, on how we’ve supported local efforts to implement integrated, people-centered eye care. Learn how these efforts are transforming global eye health priorities into meaningful progress and creating tangible outcomes that resonate within communities everywhere.
