Final Day of the Ophthalmic Talanoa Session

It has been a great week of learning and sharing for our eye doctors, nurses, ophthalmic technicians, optometrist and current students.

We extend our sincere thanks to all the facilitators, the organising committee, and our sponsors for their efforts and time. A special acknowledgment to The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ for their funding and continuously encouraging workforce development opportunities and for their incredible support in building the eye care workforce not only in Fiji but across the Pacific. Without the scholarships and the wraparound approach to workforce strengthening, our Pacific nations would still rely heavily on visiting overseas specialists. With your support we have been able to develop our local leaders to provide their own eye care services.

This year, with the generous support of additional sponsors, we were able to invite regional participants to the Fiji Eye Care Workshop and have more Fiji participants. Vinaka vakalevu to RANZCO, APAO, and Bayer for their sponsorship, and their contributions as speakers and trainers. As well as to all our eye stakeholders, partners, self-sponsored participants, and presenters.

Finally, a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated staff who held the fort while other eye clinicians refreshed and upgraded their skills.

Together, we continue to move towards stronger, self-sufficient eye care for our region.
