Improvement in the effective cataract surgical coverage in Malaysia: evidence of impact from a mobile cataract outreach program
The improvement in eCSC could likely be attributed to both quality outcome enhancement and increased coverage, possibly due to the impact of the mobile cataract services in both regions. However, a coordinated approach is necessary to further strengthen and expand the coverage of the program to enable the country to achieve the 30% increase in eCSC as targeted by WHO.
