"In KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), the one millionth patient recently received
an eye exam and the eye care they needed thanks to an innovative program
initiative of partners--the International Centre for Eyecare Education
(ICEE), Standard Chartered Bank, KwaZulu-Natal Department of Health and
Optometry Giving Sight." That's the word from the organizations' press release. "The
Giving Sight to KwaZulu-Natal program is a visionary effort and
example of the power of public-private partnerships. The target of
reaching one million patients in KZN started in July 2007
to provide accessible eye care services to communities throughout the
province using the existing public health system. The ultimate goal is
already achieved - the program now paves the way for ongoing eye care
services in the public health system that will serve millions more long
after the initial program has concluded." Read more.
