Between 2011 – 2016, ESCRS generously donated over £100,000 towards Orbis's work at partner hospitals in Ethiopia and our regional Human Resources for Eye Health programme in East Africa.
The organisation continues to support Orbis with the opportunity to conduct a free paper session and symposium on key eye health issues at their Annual Congress.
In 2019, ESCRS will sponsor three of their young ophthalmologists to travel on the Flying Eye Hospital Associate Programmes to Vietnam and Myanmar and sponsor two ophthalmologists from Ethiopia to attend their 2019 Congress.
