We had an amazing time working with local eye teams and the Ophthalmological Society of the West Indies during our two-week program in May.
Supported by the Ministry of Health and hosted by the Queen Elizabeth Hospital the Flying Eye Hospital project strengthened the skills and capacity of eye teams from Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and St. Lucia.
After consulting with the Ministry of Health the program focused on cataract, glaucoma, strabismus and retina diseases which we identified as the areas which we could have the biggest impact.
