SUPPORTING ORBIS
The ESCRS is supporting a new Orbis initiative to strengthen a network of medical schools and training across six countries in East Africa.
This enterprise will address the gaps currently felt across eye healthcare systems in the region and look at ways to build an African-owned leadership network of skilled ophthalmic trainers. This group will be able to improve training opportunities for medical professionals within their own countries, thus increasing the number of highly trained eye care specialists. This initiative is part of the ongoing ESCRS support for Orbis and Oxfam. Details of the Oxfam project will be announced in the next edition of ESCRS News.
ESCRS LAUNCHES NEW LOGO
"There is nothing permanent except change." Heraclitus of Greece, circa 470BC
The ESCRS has a new logo which is now being displayed on all ESCRS literature, conference signage and on our website. So why the new look? At the ESCRS, evolution is at our core. The evolution of surgical procedures and treatments is the direct result of research and of ophthalmologists teaching and learning from each other. Our identity must reflect our changing world and the global membership that we represent. We have thought about our society and what it means to you, our members and ophthalmologists who attend our conferences.We believe our new logo will reflect our identity and the evolution of the ESCRS in the coming years.
