My journey in eye health began with observing the inequalities in access to healthcare, especially for vulnerable communities. I saw how lack of access to eye care had a profound impact on people's quality of life and autonomy. This reality sparked a deep passion in me to fight for a more just and equitable healthcare system. My goal is to help build a world where everyone, regardless of their social condition, has access to quality eye care. I believe that health is a fundamental right and that through collaboration and innovation we can overcome the challenges that prevent universal access to healthcare. I am a passionate advocate for eye health and for the inclusion and autonomy of people with disabilities.
