From the Country Director's Desk
Dear Friends,
Greetings from Orbis! I am pleased to present the latest edition of our quarterly newsletter, InSight, which showcases our key activities and accomplishments over the past two quarters of 2024.
We embarked on 2024 with great momentum, beginning with a new partnership with, Dahod, Gujarat and the successful implementation of remote surgical mentorship under the Sandwich Fellowship program.
This year also marks a significant milestone-starting of the 25th year of collaboration with our partners across India. To celebrate this remarkable journey, we hosted a partner's meet, bringing together representatives from more than 40 hospitals. During this event, we launched the Accreditation Standards for Vision Centers, setting a new benchmark for excellence in eye care delivery.
We were further honored by the presence of Derek W Hodkey, President and CEO of Orbis International, for the inauguration of our 35th Children's Eye Care Center at Sitapur Eye Hospital, Uttar Pradesh and the 34th Green Vision Center (GVC) at Trilochan Netralaya in Sambalpur, Odisha.
As we look ahead, our commitment to enhancing our shared mission remains unwavering. Your continued dedication and hard work are vital as we strive to make 2024 also a year of exceptional progress and success.
We invite you to read on for more inspiring stories and highlights from across the country and beyond.
Warm regards,
Dr. Rishi Raj Borah, Country Director, Orbis India
