"The greatest barrier to health is not disease — it is the failure to make care accessible to everyone, regardless of where they were born."

— Eren Coban, Founder & Executive Director

Our Mission

Health access is not a privilege — it is a right

Founded by a pre-medical student with a passion for global health equity, ClearVision Global Health, Inc. is built on the belief that where you are born should never determine whether you receive life-changing medical care.

We chose cataract surgery as our entry point deliberately — it is one of the most cost-effective, measurable, and high-impact surgical interventions in global health. At approximately $100 per procedure, the outcome is immediate, documentable, and fundable. It is a model for how structured international partnerships and transparent fundraising can solve access problems at scale.

We have signed a formal protocol with Golden Life American Hospital in Mali. Every dollar we raise goes directly to surgery costs — and we are part of every step, from patient selection to outcome tracking.

About Us

Who we are and what drives us

ClearVision Global Health, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to surgical care for underserved populations — building transparent, evidence-driven funding models that address the structural barriers preventing people from receiving the medical interventions they need.

We are built on a simple truth: the greatest obstacles in global health are not always clinical — they are structural. Funding gaps, geographic barriers, and the absence of accountable partnerships between donors and hospitals leave millions without access to surgeries that could change their lives. We exist to close those gaps.

ClearVision Global Health, Inc. was formally incorporated in 2026, growing from seven years of independent fundraising and a successful one-year surgical partnership with Golden Life American Hospital in Bamako, Mali. We chose cataract surgery as our founding program because it offers something rare in global health work: a low-cost, high-impact intervention with immediate, measurable outcomes that donors can understand and trust. It is a model — not a limit. Our vision extends to any surgical access gap where structured partnerships, transparent funding, and rigorous documentation can change outcomes at scale.

Every dollar we raise goes directly to surgery costs. Every surgery is documented. Every outcome is tracked and published. This is not just good ethics — it is the foundation of the evidence base we are building to demonstrate that community-funded surgical access programs can work anywhere in the world.

Who we are and why we serve

ClearVision Global Health, Inc. is governed by a dedicated board committed to transparency, accountability, and measurable impact in global health equity and surgical access.

EC
Founder
Eren Coban
Founder & Executive Director

Eren is a pre-medical student aspiring to become a physician — with a deep commitment to global health equity and expanding access to surgical care in underserved communities. His driving question is not which specialty he will practice, but how medicine can be made accessible to the people who need it most. Since 6th grade he has been translating that question into action. Through high school he partnered with Embrace Relief to fund surgical care across Africa. In 2025, during his senior year, he signed a direct protocol with Golden Life American Hospital in Bamako, Mali — raising $25,000 and sponsoring 200+ cataract surgeries. He chose cataract surgery deliberately: it is one of the most cost-effective, documentable, and donor-friendly surgical interventions in global health, making it an ideal proof-of-concept for a larger model. In 2026 he founded ClearVision Global Health, Inc. to scale and formalize that model — with a board, long-term hospital partnerships, and a research program aimed at peer-reviewed publication. His 2030 goal is 3 hospital partnerships across multiple countries, $30,000–$40,000 raised annually, and 500+ volunteers engaged globally.

Research Program

Building the evidence base for global health equity

Every surgery we fund is a data point in a larger argument: that structured, transparent, community-funded surgical access programs can work at scale. We are building the evidence base to prove it — starting with cataract outcomes in Mali, with the goal of publishing peer-reviewed research that informs global health policy.

Active

Outcome documentation

Tracking pre- and post-surgical vision outcomes for all patients funded through ClearVision Global Health, Inc. at Golden Life American Hospital.

Planned

Access barriers analysis

Identifying the social, geographic, and economic barriers that prevent cataract patients in Mali from accessing surgical care.

Planned

Sustainable funding model

Analyzing what fundraising strategies most reliably sustain surgical programs in low-resource settings — for replication globally.

Planned

Quality of life impact

Measuring how restored vision affects patients' economic participation, family roles, and psychological wellbeing at 6 and 12 months post-surgery.

Planned

Patient selection equity

Examining how patient selection criteria affect who receives funded surgeries — and how to ensure maximum equity in allocation.

Goal

Peer-reviewed publication

Our research program culminates in publication in a respected medical or global health journal — contributing to the scientific foundation for scalable global health access programs.
