Poor vision is the world’s largest unmet disability affecting 2.5 billion people. Improved vision for those who need it would help drive progress on the elimination of poverty, ensure healthy lives, help empower more women and girls, reduce inequality, improve education, lead to more decent work, and help drive more inclusive and sustainable economic growth, all Global Goals and pillars of the 2030 Agenda. This event will feature contributions from Dr. Agnes Binagwaho, Vice Chancellor & Chief Executive of University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda and former Rwandan Minister of Health; His Excellency Dr. W Alfonso Webson, Permanent Representative of Antigua and Barbuda to the United Nations; James Chen, venture philanthropist and founder of Vision for a Nation and Clearly; and Kevin Cahill, Chief Executive of Comic Relief 1997-2016 and founder of Sport Relief (invited).
