The ECF Announces Collaboration with the International Ophthalmological Fellowship Foundation and the Ophthalmology Foundation!
March 12, 2024: The ECF is excited to announce our partnership with the International Ophthalmological Fellowship Foundation (IOFF) located in Munich, Germany and the Ophthalmology Foundation (OF), located in San Francisco, CA! The purpose of this partnership is to expand our mutual ability to train Eye Cancer Specialists for unserved and underserved countries.
Patients, particularly children with retinoblastoma, who live in low-resource and underserved countries, are more likely to die of their disease. This partnership will help to further the mission, vision, and purpose of the ECF by finding aspiring ophthalmologists from underserved regions and teaching them to save both sight and life!
