ORBIS conducts training in adult and pediatric ophthalmology at local hospitals and through the awarding of fellowships. This training is in keeping with ORBIS’s overall goal of strengthening the capacity of local institutions to provide quality, affordable eye care, on their own, over the long term.
We are supporting the Isphahani Eye Institute in Dhaka to train ophthalmologists, nurses, anesthesiologists, biomedical technicians and other essential eye care personnel in the areas of blindness prevention and treatment.
