WSPOS Pledge
WSPOS Commitment to Equality and Human Dignity
The World Society of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (WSPOS) stands firmly on the principle that every human being deserves to be treated with unwavering dignity, respect, and fairness.
Our Position on Discrimination:
WSPOS unequivocally condemns racism and discrimination in all its forms, whether based on race or colour, religion or belief systems, nationality or ethnic origin, gender or orientation, or disability or socioeconomic status.
Discrimination is fundamentally a failure to respect people. It violates human dignity and undermines the communities we serve.
Respect as Our Foundation: At the heart of our organization is a simple, non-negotiable truth:
Respect is the foundation of humanity.
We believe in respect for people, respect for perspectives, and respect for the cultures and traditions that shape our global community. Every person, whether seeking care or providing it, deserves to be honoured for their inherent worth.
We embrace the principle that expertise resides all over the world. Excellence in caring for those who entrust us with that privilege emerges from diverse communities, perspectives, and traditions.
Our Pledge
WSPOS will always advocate for a world where the colour of one’s skin, the nature of one’s faith, or the culture from where one comes never determines the quality of care they receive or their worth as human beings.
We do not just treat eyes; we care for people.
To do so effectively, we pledge to uphold the humanity of every individual without exception.
