The Rt Hon The Lord Boateng PC DL will talk on “Beyond The Pandemic - Challenges and Opportunities for Sustainable Health Care and Sanitation in a Changed World”. The session will then feature the international experiences of distinguished guests of cooperation across the Commonwealth in harnessing the collective power of peoples and nation states towards positive action.

The session will draw on the wide ranging backgrounds of speakers spanning international diplomacy, parliament, international trade, healthcare and education from three diverse continents.

Commonwealth Future wishes to thank Ms Gina Asare, Director of International Strategic Partnerships for her support with the Ghanaian Delegation .

The webinar builds upon Commonwealth Future’s 2020 strategy to support countries across the Commonwealth with access to pioneering knowledge sharing and thought leadership in eyecare education and awareness. Without access to these solutions and services, many individuals will struggle to improve their own character and evolve to fulfil their own potential.

This unique event is part of a series of discussions promoting the importance of eyecare education through reading. Commonwealth Future believes that a focus on optimising sight is essential in order to create a fair and equitable society.
