Seva.org leverages 48 years of operating success across 22 countries (Asia, Africa and the Americas) and serves over 7 million clients through comprehensive eye care.
We position eyecare platforms as scalable, real-world entry points for embedding and evaluating multisectoral NCD interventions across non-health sectors, including education, employment, social protection, urban environments, and digital systems.
Using rigorous mixed-methods implementation research, we will examine how cross-sectoral coordination, shared governance, and adaptive delivery models can be designed, implemented, and sustained to improve NCD prevention, early detection, and long-term management in routine settings where people live and work. Our multinational footprint enables comparative learning across diverse contexts, generating transferable evidence on reach, equity, sustainability, and system-level impact.
This work -- for the right partnership or existing collaboration may directly advance the GACD agenda by producing actionable knowledge on institutionalizing multisectoral collaboration at scale, positioning comprehensive eyecare as a catalytic platform for integrated, people-centred NCD action beyond the formal health system.
Seva.org uses 48 years of eye care success to pilot scalable, multisectoral NCD interventions across education, work, and digital systems.
