An Orbis first: live video consultation with Doctor in Syria
One of our Volunteer Faculty members held a live video consultation with a doctor in Syria last week, showing that technology can help us have an impact in places we would not otherwise be able to reach.
We have a long history of working in Syria prior to the conflict in 2011 so this consultation meant a lot to many of our staff who had visited Aleppo and Damascus with the Flying Eye Hospital.
This was actually our first ever live video consultation of this kind and it was amazing to watch the two doctors collaborating in such a way, as if they were in the room together.
With your support we can ensure it is the first of many.
