Empowering Eye Care
Blindness and visual impairment are significant public health issues in our country and region. The programs that we, the Rwanda International Institute of Ophthalmology (RIIO), deliver are sensitive to the fact that:
Geographically, socially and economically disadvantaged communities and individuals often lack culturally relevant health information
Access to care is often impeded by a myriad of constraints
Leading the Way in Eye Care Education
RIIO exists to support and positively influence eye care education, service delivery and research in order to transform our trainees and communities.
Our Mission
To be influencers in eye care delivery and education, recognized for radical and critically thought projects that integrate innovation, research, and enterprise for the long-term benefit of Rwanda and the region.
OUR VISION
A world where eye health is understood, valued and preserved by all and for all.
