VOSH/International is partnering with Charity Vision International to strengthen the Technology Transfer Program (TTP), which facilitates the reception and donation of used ophthalmic equipment. This partnership will increase our impact on international optometric education and humanitarian action.
We are excited to join forces and maximise strengths with Charity Vision. You can find more information about their important work here: www.charityvision.org.
