Zambia Flying Eye Hospital Project 2023
Orbis’s recent Flying Eye Hospital project in Lusaka, Zambia was our second patient-focused Flying Eye Hospital project in 2023 following the success of the team’s visit to Vietnam in July. We’re thrilled to report that this program was deemed an “extraordinary” project by those involved.
