Three weeks of learning, collaboration and care in Da Nang have come to a close—and the impact will continue long after the Flying Eye Hospital departs. ✈🇻🇳
Working alongside Da Nang Eye Hospital, Orbis trained 163 eye health professionals from 41 institutions across 13 provinces and cities. Across ophthalmology, nursing, anesthesiology, and biomedical engineering, training participants took part in 534 learning experiences designed to strengthen the skills and systems that make high-quality eye care possible.
The real impact is the many people who will benefit when trained eye care teams bring new skills, knowledge, and confidence back to their communities. From hands-on surgical instruction and simulation training to lectures, live demonstrations, and equipment support, this work helps build a stronger, more sustainable eye care workforce for the future.
This project also marked 30 years of Orbis partnership in Vietnam—and 20 years since the Flying Eye Hospital first visited Da Nang.
Many thanks to our Volunteer Faculty, our partners at Da Nang Eye Hospital, local health leaders, supporters, and the entire Flying Eye Hospital team. This kind of lasting progress is only possible when we work together. 🤜🤛
