Community

At PROTON, we are committed to making a meaningful impact beyond our clinical care, research and education. Through our Community Engagement Program, we strive to extend our expertise and resources to underserved areas around the globe. PROTON program encompasses various initiatives aimed at improving healthcare access, providing education, and enhancing medical capabilities in remote communities.




Training and Education


We recognize the importance of continuous learning and professional development, especially in regions where access to training resources may be limited. As part of our program, we conduct training sessions and educational workshops for general ophthalmologists in remote areas. These sessions cover a wide range of topics, including basic eye care, diagnostic techniques, and treatment protocols. By empowering local healthcare providers with knowledge and skills, we aim to strengthen healthcare systems and improve eye care services in underserved communities.



Uveitis Diagnosis and Management


Uveitis, a group of inflammatory diseases affecting the eye, can lead to vision impairment and blindness if left untreated. Unfortunately, many individuals in remote areas lack access to specialized care for uveitis diagnosis and management. Through PROTON’s Community Engagement Program, we work to address this gap by providing support for the diagnosis and management of uveitis in underserved regions. Our team of experts collaborates with local healthcare providers to enhance diagnostic capabilities, implement effective treatment strategies, and improve patient outcomes.



Teleconsultation


One of the cornerstones of our Community Engagement Program is our teleconsultation services. We leverage technology to connect healthcare professionals in remote areas with specialists from around the world. Through virtual consultations, we facilitate the exchange of knowledge, expertise, and best practices, ultimately improving patient care outcomes.
