Duncan was soon awarded a scholarship by a local mining group to study in Ghana as an Ophthalmic Clinical Officer (OCO). As he was completing his studies, Orbis started working with the Mwinilunga District Hospital in Zambia’s North-Western Province (NWP). The hospital was in need of OCOs, which led to Duncan’s invitation to return to Zambia and work alongside Orbis. He is now one of the few active OCOs in Zambia.
