Advocacy / Vision 2020 Resources
The ICO is committed to offering resources and support to "advocates," who have been appointed by their ophthalmologic societies to work with the ICO, and others interested in advocating for health-care resources.
We offer resources and support for advocates, including:
- News: Find out what is happening around the world in advocacy
- Resources: Tools and information to help you negotiate, plan and generate support
- Workshops for Advocates: View presentations from the 2011 Workshop in Buenos Aires
Do you have other resources to share? Send us an email at info@icoph.org.
- Connections: Interest groups for advocates to share information and ideas.
Join the ICO’s free online community. We will contact you about receiving updates, news and information.
