HEAD START – an innovative training approach for life-long learning

摘要

An innovative global training approach called HEAD START is bridging the gap between theory and live surgery, building skills for new trainees as well as providing continuing professional development for experienced surgeons.Repeated infection with Chlamydia trachomatis leads to inturned eyelashes and painful trichiasis which has a profoundly negative impact on quality of life. It can be corrected by eyelid surgery but, if left untreated, can lead to irreversible low-vision and blindness.
