Professor Dan Neely discussed four complex cases with Dr Wael Hamoudeh from Almouassat University Hospital in Damascus, which continues to operate despite ongoing conflict.
This was Orbis' first ever live video consultation of this kind; Professor Neely said that it was "every bit as effective as if we had been in the same room, examining the patient together".
This use of technology enables Orbis to reach regions that would otherwise be inaccessible to our services, even in countries in the midst of conflict and instability like Syria.
