The Fellowship is an initiative of the SSO Commission for Ophthalmology in Developing Countries (CODC). The CODC has been founded in the 1970s by leading Swiss ophthalmologists in the field of international ophthalmology with projects in Africa, Asia and India among other places on this globe. The CODC remains a well-supported committee by the Swiss Society of Ophthalmology (SSO) and its members.
The Fellowship aims to provide resources to train such Fellows in areas of ophthalmology that are unique to developing countries. It will provide an opportunity for successful candidates who are committed to the practice of international ophthalmology to experience in-country work including service delivery and capacity building in developing countries. The aim of such a Fellowship is to establish long-term relationships between ophthalmic professionals in both countries.
