Dr. Jeffrey Sachs describes the Summit as "a famous global crossroads" where thousands get together to discuss innovative solutions to improving health and development.

Global Health Conference

I was amazed at the amount of preventable and/or treatable causes of eye disease that have gone unchecked here for many years. So many people, not just the elderly, but young children, were permanently blind from diseases that are easily treated in the U.S. Working with the Unite for Sight team on these outreaches in service to these wonderful people of Ghana was the single most rewarding work I've done in my life.
