Private eye care in Nigeria: A key to SDG 3?
In this webinar, Commonwealth Alumnus Dr Omojeme Adomi will discuss how eye health care is a key component of public health and achieving UN Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good health and wellbeing. Dr Omojeme will discuss the critical role of the private eye health sector, especially in countries like Nigeria where the lack of political investment to address healthcare issues has weakened the public health sector.
Dr Omojeme will highlight how her Commonwealth Distance Learning Scholarship has equipped her to play a key role in bridging the gap between the private eye health sector and public eye health care.
