Posters
Academic Poster Topics: Global Eye Health
(1) Strengthening Supply Chains for Sustainable Eye Health
Develop a one-slide academic poster that addresses the challenge of supply chain reliability in global ophthalmology.
- Identify key challenges in ensuring timely access to essential ophthalmic supplies (e.g., intraocular lenses, medications, equipment).
- Propose innovative, scalable strategies to strengthen supply chain resilience, such as:
- Local manufacturing and procurement models
- Inventory and logistics optimization
- Equipment maintenance systems
- Regional and cross-sector collaboration
Present a framework that minimizes delays, maintains quality of care, and reduces dependency on imports in low-resource settings.
(2) Addressing Professional Migration in Global Ophthalmology
Design a one-slide poster that critically examines sustainable strategies to mitigate professional migration in ophthalmology. Your poster should articulate evidence-based approaches for training, retention, and career development aimed at strengthening and sustaining a resilient surgical workforce in low-resource, remote and/or underserved settings.
Key considerations include:
- Professional incentives and retention mechanisms
- Mentorship models and structured career pathways
- International collaboration and knowledge exchange
- Policy frameworks that promote long-term workforce stability
Propose a scalable, context-sensitive model that balances global mobility with local capacity building, ensuring equitable access to eye care services.
(3) Sustainability in Global Eye Health Systems
Develop a one-slide poster that critically examines how sustainability principles can be integrated into global eye health systems. The poster should highlight innovative, evidence-based strategies that reduce environmental impact, strengthen system resilience, and ensure long-term financial viability, while maintaining equity and quality of care.
Key dimensions to address include:
- Climate-adaptive infrastructure and resource-efficient operations
- Low-waste clinical practices and environmentally responsible supply chains
- Sustainable workforce models that support retention and capacity building
- Alignment with global health and development frameworks
Your poster should propose actionable strategies that contribute to broader sustainability goals and offer insights for policy development, program design, or future research.
