Santen Pharmaceutical launched its first regional community initiative, ‘10,000 Hours’, at the World Ophthalmology Congress in Barcelona, Spain. This initiative will enable Santen staff to volunteer for non-government organisations (NGOs) and advocacy groups in eye health and vision impairment. During WOC, Santen also made a donation to One Dollar Glasses, a charity that has developed a method of providing spectacles to those who cannot otherwise afford them. “Santen is passionate about improving the lives of the patients we serve,” said Shigeo Taniuchi, President and Chief Operating Officer of Santen Global. www.santen.com/en/
