WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology (TIO), an implementing body of the Nepal Eye Program, as its Collaborating Centre for Ophthalmology in Nepal.

Joining over 800 collaborating centres in over 80 WHO Member States, TIO is the second institute in Nepal to receive this designation (after SAARC Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS Centre) but the first Nepalese health agency to receive the recognition.
