CBM

Cases of Corona virus are now being detected in some of the poorest countries in the world, specifically across the African continent.

2020 has been declared as the ‘International Year of the Nurse and the Midwife’. Today, more than ever, we are witnessing the vital role played by frontline hospital staff, especially nurses and other hospital workers in providing health care around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses are at the forefront of the pandemic response, providing high-quality treatment and care.

A guidance note for COVID-19 has been developed with the aim to support our eye health partners and communities they serve, in their efforts to combat this global health crisis.

To support CBM’s Community-Based Inclusive Development (CBID) partners, a “Disability Inclusive Community Action – COVID-19 Matrix” has been developed with the aim to provide community programmes guidance on possible action points in community development and mobilization in relation to COVID-19 preparedness and response.

Help us by donating generously to our Corona Aid Fund and contributing to the survival of people with disabilities during these trying times.
