Lisbon School of Health Technology (ESTeSL) has been establishing partnerships with developing countries for the implementation of the Orthoptic degree.

Methods: throughout the four years, using WHO guidelines we planed that the orthoptic program should assume four basic functions of education, research, service delivery and policy design; five main partners have been identified: policy-makers, health managers, health professionals, academic institutions and communities; assistance has been provided to improve the skills and qualifications of the local educators and professional groups.
