I’ll be writing a proper update on my trip soon, once I’ve had time to process it. What I can tell you for now is that all the local staff I met were incredibly skilled and dedicated, and it felt great to be sharing some of my expertise, as well as learning new techniques from them. Their patients are going to have an even higher standard of care now – more people treated, more sight saved.
Meanwhile, the Flying Eye Hospital has just completed a project in Cameroon. Thanks to our kind Orbis supporters, the FEH team spent four weeks carrying out sight-saving treatments and trainings in collaboration with two of our partner hospitals in that country.
They’ve had a huge impact, giving the gift of sight to people like Lemuel.
