Orbis Canada

As our Flying Eye Hospital project in Mongolia comes to a close, we want to thank the Title Sponsor of week three, Alcon Foundation. The Alcon Foundation has been a generous supporter of Orbis for more than forty years, providing monetary donations for the Flying Eye Hospital. Alcon has also supplied state-of-the-art ophthalmic equipment and surgical products through Alcon Cares. During the project, @SeeAlconScience's expert biomedical engineers also led a workshop in Ulaanbaatar to train local teams to operate and maintain critical ophthalmic technology. “Alcon sees a world where treatable, preventable conditions that affect individuals’ eye health receive the attention they need, when they need it, regardless of geography, gender, age or socioeconomic status,” said Charles Herget, President, Alcon Cares. “We know that the only way to make quality eye care more available and accessible is by cultivating self-sustaining eye health ecosystems and developing well-trained eye care teams. That’s why we’re proud to support Orbis and its programs that tackle avoidable vision loss by building strong and sustainable eye care systems worldwide.” We’d like to say a huge thank you to Alcon for being such a committed eye care partner.
