On October 23, 2025, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, in partnership with the Brenda Strafford Foundation (BSF), unveiled the Regional Eye Health Strategic Plan Project during the 11th Council of Ministers: Health meeting. This initiative, supported by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, aims to address critical challenges in eye care across the region, including limited resources, accessibility, and equity. The project aligns with the OECS Heads of Government’s mandate to establish Centres of Excellence in healthcare. A comprehensive fact-finding assessment will be conducted to evaluate eye care needs and capacities within member states, ensuring the development of an evidence-based Regional Eye Health Strategy. Guided by the World Health Organisation’s “Eye Care in Health Systems: Guide for Action,” the initiative will generate robust data to identify prevalent eye conditions, at-risk populations, and targeted interventions. Honourable Philip Telesford, Grenada’s Minister for Health and incoming Chair of the OECS PPS Board, endorsed the project, describing it as a “blueprint for action” that prioritizes equity and integrated, people-centred care. Sisera Simon, Head of the Human and Social Division at the OECS Commission, emphasized the strategy’s role in fostering long-term health resilience. Tony Weeks, President and CEO of the BSF, highlighted the foundation’s commitment to equitable healthcare access and the collaborative efforts to eliminate preventable blindness. The project’s findings will be showcased at the inaugural Global Summit for Eye Health in Antigua and Barbuda in 2026, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 3 and OECS Strategic Priority 5: advancing Equity and Inclusion.
