The objective of the study was to describe the characteristics of partners collaborating with KMTC in ophthalmology training programs. An exploratory research design was employed in the form of a qualitative case study. Through purposive sampling 24 representatives of organizations that partner with KMTC were contacted and interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule and an observation checklist. Data was analysed using thematic analysis and pattern-matching, and presented in tables and narratives. The study found that this is a long-term heterogeneous partnership with a unique coordination mechanism. There exists a collaboration space for current and new strategic partners.
