28th -30th October 2016, Durban, South Africa

MYT worked side by side with IAPB as a PCO for the IAPB’s 10th General Assembly (10GA), the premier global event discussing public health issues related to blindness and visual impairment, has been a grand success: thank you for your support.

Catering to every eye health professional – ophthalmologists, optometrists, other eye health professionals, development and public health experts, key opinion leaders, procurement specialists, CEOs, eye care equipment manufacturers – 10GA brought together 1150 eye care professionals from 100 countries. The GA also had over 60 sessions with 200 speakers and 250 poster presentations over 3 days. The social programmes proved to be great opportunities to network over sumptuous South African food and drink.

With the theme “Stronger Together”, IAPB aims to underscore the key value it delivers to the eye care sector – building partnerships and ensuring that the entire sector speaks in one voice. MYT were delighted to work with the Programme Partners and Eye Health Investors who helped bring the 10GA to all delegates: Brien Holden Vision Institute, CBM, Orbis and Mectizan Donation Program; Bayer, Helen Keller International, International Council of Ophthalmology, Lions Clubs International Foundation, L’OCCITANE Foundation, Seva foundation, Standard Chartered bank/Seeing is Believing and Vision Impact Institute.
