About

ISOO Virtual

ISOO Virtual serves as a premier platform for fostering collaboration in ocular oncology. This year, the conference will examine the disparities and opportunities between the Global North and Global South, addressing critical gaps in patient care, research, and policy implementation. The event will facilitate an exchange of knowledge among leading experts, ensuring equitable progress in ocular oncology across diverse healthcare landscapes.

Global North & Global South:

A Critical Perspective

The Global North and Global South are terms used to describe the economic and developmental divide between high-income countries (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While the Global North benefits from advanced healthcare infrastructure, cutting-edge research, and widespread access to specialized treatments, the Global South faces significant challenges, including limited resources, disparities in early diagnosis, and barriers to advanced care. In ocular oncology, these differences influence not only patient outcomes but also the availability of expertise, diagnostic tools, and innovative treatment modalities. However, the Global South is also a hub of ingenuity, where clinicians develop creative, resource-conscious solutions to deliver high-quality care despite constraints. ISOO Virtual 2025 seeks to bridge these divides by fostering collaboration, promoting equitable knowledge exchange, and highlighting innovative approaches that can drive progress in ocular oncology worldwide.
