IJCAHPO-SNEC Regional Training and Ceritfication Centre

At the regional and international level, SNEC has been approached to provide training to countries in the region through stakeholders like ASEAN Association of Eye Hospitals (AAEH), non-profit agencies and clinical institutions in developing countries. The Centre is also working towards developing itself as a regional examination centre for Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (JCAHPO) certification and an international training hub for the eye care workforce.

IJCAHPO provides international accreditation by setting academic standards for ophthalmic training programmes to enhance the quality and availability of ophthalmic patient care. IJCAHPO is the international division of the JCAHPO, which offers certification and continuing education opportunities to ophthalmic allied health personnel.
