The Philippines:
Our work in the Philippines has been rewarding to say the least. Since 2010, we have made a total of 10 visits to the country and have had the privilege of providing a wide range of sight-restoring surgeries to those in need.
In 2018 alone, a remarkable 143 surgeries were performed over a two week period without any complications. In addition to performing surgeries, our team of professionals has conducted numerous ophthalmic lectures for physicians, internists and emergency room physicians, in an effort to build local capacity and empower communities.
We look forward to our continued partnership with the Philippines and these inspiring communities.
