While combating terrorism has been the government's explanation for the need for the surveillance powers set out in the legislation, they have never adequately explained how a senior exec working in fraud and error services at the Department for Work and Pensions, for example, might be actively engaged in a War on Terror.
This comparison indicates how poorly developed and inaccessible refractive error services are in Mozambique compared to Eritrea.
Firstly, eye care cadres who were already delivering refractive error services (ophthalmic nurses and optometrists) were appropriately up skilled.
5. Estimate the prevalence and describe types of refractive errors for the purposes of planning refractive error services (including those for children).
Together, the data on prevalence and an understanding of the barriers for the uptake of services are critical to the planning of refractive error services.
Stakeholder engagement on the value of developing a sustainable strategy for the delivery of refractive error services within the DHS was conducted.
As the project progressed, there was a growth in the number of clinics within the KZN DoH that was offering refractive error services.
The need for continuous advocacy for eye care services within the KZN DoH beyond the project lifecycle is critical to the maintenance and continued development of refractive error services established through this project.
This target was selected following a service delivery model for eye care developed in India, whereby 'Vision Centres' provide primary eye care and first-level refractive error services to a population of 50,000 people [ 28].
The project was implemented in the KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa, to scale up the delivery of refractive error services utilising a four pronged approach; including advocacy, human resource development, equipment provision and research.
This project has indicated that scale up of refractive error services can occur in a health district through a multi-faceted approach that encompasses wide spectrum training, advocacy, appropriate infrastructure and referrals with clear guidelines for the management of patients.
