ESCRS President’s Dinner
Upon invitation-only
This special evening offers not only the chance to meet and network with colleagues, but also the opportunity to support the ESCRS’s ongoing commitment to improving access to high-quality eye care in underserved communities across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The ESCRS invests approximately €600,000 each year in carefully selected charitable projects in the region, complemented by substantial professional, educational and organisational support. However, the need remains considerable.
A fee of €50 per person is required for attendance at the President’s Dinner. The full amount will be donated to two non-profit organisations supported by the ESCRS: the “Community Eye Health Institute at the University of Cape Town” and “Medical Missions Eswatini”.
A fee of €20 per person is required for attendance at the President’s Dinner – After Dinner. The full amount will be donated to two non-profit organisations supported by the ESCRS: the “Community Eye Health Institute at the University of Cape Town” and “Medical Missions Eswatini”.
All contributions will be transferred directly to these two trusted partners. Both organisations deliver practical, locally tailored programmes, including sustainable “train-the-trainer” initiatives for cataract surgeons and ophthalmic teams from across Africa.
The ESCRS is immensely grateful to the guests of the President’s Dinner and After Dinner for supporting these important initiatives.
