Training projects through the Flying Eye Hospital, local partner institutions, and our telemedicine platform, Cybersight: With donor support and the help of our expert volunteer faculty, Orbis provided high-quality training to all types of eye care professionals in 2019, from doctors to nurses to community health workers. These trainings were delivered in partnership with local hospitals, agencies, and governments, and were tailored to each regions needs as part of a long-term eye health strategy. In 2019, a total of 66,006 in-person trainings were completed by doctors, nurses, and other eye health workers through our in-country programs and on board the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital, a fully-accredited teaching hospital housed on an MD-10 aircraft. Additionally, 7,621 eye health professionals in 183 countries were trained through Cybersight (cybersight.org), our online telemedicine platform. 2. Pediatric eye screening and care in India: India is home to the largest population of blind children (270,000) in any one country. Because sight could be restored in over 50 percent of these cases with early intervention and timely comprehensive treatment, Orbis conducted eight REACH (Refractive Error Among Children) projects in India in 2019, along with three Comprehensive Childhood Blindness projects, plus quality improvement and advocacy initiatives. Our work to reduce blindness and visual impairment among children in India included training local workers on screening and eye health, providing equipment, developing outreach plans for screenings, and developing quality educational materials on eye health. Results in 2019 included 978,540 screenings/examinations on children; 40,530 eyeglass prescriptions for children; and 18,638 trainings completed by doctors, nurses, and other eye health workers who will go on to serve their local communities for years to come. 3. Integrated eye care in an emergency setting: The Rohingya are a stateless minority population widely regarded as one of the most persecuted ethnic groups in the world. Approximately 1.2 million Rohingya have taken refuge in the Coxs Bazar district of Bangladesh, a country where Orbis has maintained an ongoing presence for 20 years. In 2019, Orbis responded to this major global humanitarian crisis by working to integrate eye care services in the Rohingya camps and in the surrounding host community. Specific activities included conducting outreach at the camps Child Friendly Spaces and on mobile eye care centers; providing training for doctors and health professionals; providing equipment and building the capacity of local hospitals; and establishing community-based primary eye care facilities. As a result of this work, over 84,696 people received eye screenings; 4,504 people received free spectacles; 12,457 people received free medicine; and 1,769 people received sight-saving surgeries. 360573845 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false true true true true true true true false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true X 30 0 true 91 true false true BG CH ET HK IN SF VM ZA false false false true true false false false false false false X 20 19 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false AL AK CA CT FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X DANUSIA DZIERZBINSKI 6466745500 520 8TH AVENUE 12TH FL NEW YORK NY 10018 X Bob Ranck President & CEO 40.0 0.0 X X 385541 0 46732 Danny Haddad Chief of Programs 40.0 0.0 X 295691 0 17949 Louise Harris Chief, Global Comm & Marketing 40.0 0.0 X 264210 0 33213 Thomas Hill THRU 829 CFAO 40.0 0.0 X 276419 0 15097 Kristie DeKoker Chief Development Officer 40.0 0.0 X 254713 0 25279 George Smith Director, North Asia 40.0 0.0 X 258409 0 20704 Manu Nathan General Counsel & CCO 40.0 0.0 X 243480 0 14789 David Hunter Cherwek VP of Clinical Services 40.0 0.0 X 217652 0 22653 Bruce Johnson Director -
