Asia-Pacific: Eye Screening
(Question No. 635)
Ms Julie Bishop asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in writing, on 22 September 2011:
Since 24 November 2007, what sum of funding has been spent on eye screening of primary school children (ages 5 to12 years) in the Asia-Pacific region.
Mr Rudd: The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
Since 24 November 2007, about $55 million has been spent on eye health in the Asia-Pacific region. This has included funding for eye screening for over 150,000 school aged children in Cambodia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Solomon Islands and Vietnam.
Specific age disaggregated data is not available on a financial basis for all of the countries in which Australia provides funding for avoidable blindness.
