    Abstract:
    The African Institute of Tropical Ophthalmology (AITO) was founded in Bamako in 1953. It is part of a regional structure, The Organization for Cooperation and Coordination in the Control of Major Endemic Diseases (OCCCMED). AITO is a WHO collaborating center for the prevention of blindness and has four aims: the provision of eye care, training (ophthalmologists, cataract surgeons, specialist nurses, spectacle manufacturers), research (epidemiology, clinical and surgical) and assessment of public eye care as a function of the needs of the member states of OCCCMED. The European Regional Program for the Prevention of Blindness and an International Sight First Program Center are located at AITO. AITO is at the heart of a network dedicated to fighting blindness, and its activities extend beyond the borders of the OCCCMED.
