Avoiding blindness from ROP is critical and achievable. Affordable & effective technology need to be accessible for newborn care to avoid blindness. I'm proud to have participated in the TPP process with @NEST360org @UNICEFSupply @LSHTM developing this #new Target Product Profile for ROP imaging devices.
You Save Lives,We Save Eyes
ARSP is the first telemedicine-based ROP screening project in Marathwada and central Maharashtra. By using a specially designed fundus camera for babies (Neo cam-Forus, Bangalore), images of the retina of at-risk babies will be taken by well-trained and certified Optometrists. These images will then be seen and reported by specialists, and the decision about further treatment will be taken by the team of Retina Specialist and Pediatric Ophthalmologist.
To provide Appropriate, Accessible and Affordable ROP care using a systematic and documented process that not only will pass legal scrutiny but will also provide the highest standard of care to all new born babies.
