Outreach & Rural Eye Care Systems

Programme Overview

About the Outreach & Rural Eye Care Systems Programme

The Outreach & Rural Eye Care Systems Programme at AJICO is designed for professionals who want to understand how quality eye care reaches populations beyond traditional healthcare facilities. Through exposure to outreach camps, vision centres, referral networks, patient counselling, and follow-up systems, learners gain practical insights into the design and management of rural eye care delivery. The programme focuses on building scalable, community-centred models that improve access, strengthen continuity of care, and address the unique challenges of underserved geographies.
