This week's co-host is Bulgan Orgilsaikhan, with guests Dr. Carlos Solarte, Dr. Marie-Josée Aubin, Carolyn Collantes, a consultant for our Latin America programs, and Elisa Urruchi, staff nurse on the Flying Eye Hospital. This episode explores the clinical implications of the delay in service resulting from COVID-19 safety measures.
We’ll look at this topic in general, the anticipated backlogs for both Orbis programs and private ophthalmic practices, and what delayed treatment means for patients and delivery of care.
