Date and Time: 6 November (4:00–5:15 PM IST, virtual)

Objectives

• Operationalize screening at scale: define who screens whom, where, and how often using risk stratification and task-sharing.
• Leverage technology end-to-end: AI-assisted imaging, smartphone fundus cameras, tele-ophthalmology, e-referrals, registries, and recall systems.
• Tighten the care pathway: translate screening outputs into clear referral thresholds, triage to retina services, and support treatment adherence and follow-up.
• Integrate across disciplines: embed DR screening within diabetes care pathways (clinics, camps, pharmacies) with measurable KPIs.
