The three-week national ophthalmic training project had full approval from the Zambian Ministry of Health, with Vice President, The Honorable Mutale Nalumango, paying the project a visit personally.
Thanks to Orbis supporters and the project sponsors OMEGA and Alcon Foundation, our teams were able to examine over 115 patients, perform more than 50 sight-saving surgeries, and train more than 80 eye care professionals in person, with a further 40 online.
