A year had gone by, and the Galaxy Upcycling program by Samsung is still growing, so let’s check out what happened!
Since the introduction of EYELIKE in Morocco, Samsung established accessible eye care services by partnering with Global Care and many other organizations, they had repurposed 60 units of older smartphones into EYELIKE Fundus Camera. Local optometrists have been using the camera to screen thousands of patients.
Samsung have also taken a similar initiative in India to provide the local hospital with proper tools to reach even more patients out there without the accessibility to eye care services. As the camera is already portable in nature, it helps optometrists to reach remote villages easier and also people with potential eye diseases to reach the outreach programmes easier as well.
In Papua New Guinea, health care facilities often struggle to find trained eye doctors and vital equipment as there are only 14 trained ophthalmologists and three fundus cameras nationwide. Thanks to the partnership program and the EYELIKE fundus cameras, the country are able to expand care and screen services. Jambi Garap, President of the National Prevention of Blindness Committee stated that they are currently training more doctors to help to diagnose patients and improve people’s understanding of the illnesses they have.
Samsung plans to elevate the partnership through continuous technical support and open collaboration for the ongoing nationwide training and screening of patients.
This includes the effort to reduce environmental impact and reshape consumer experiences through their sustainability platform, Galaxy for the Planet. EYELIKE specifically helps Samsung to achieve its goal of zero waste to landfills and reducing e-waste by 2025.
