LEADERSHIP & CONTACT INFORMATION / INNER COVER and their families into a life of poverty. Sadly, for 285 million people, this is a reality.

It is for this reason, that Orbis continues to strive towards a world in which no one
is needlessly blind. In 2015, our global programs trained 30,326 doctors, nurses and
many other health care professionals who can now not only provide a better level of
care but can also pass on their knowledge. We supported programs in which 65,508
adults and children received optical surgeries that either prevented blindness or
restored vision. And finally, 2,125,401 screenings and examinations were conducted
across three continents.

In 2015, our beloved DC-10 flew on its last project when it visited Vietnam. It was
officially retired this year as we welcomed the launch of our third-generation
Flying Eye Hospital in June. Many more details about this momentous occasion
and what it means for vision care will be featured in our 2016 Annual Review.

Orbis’s life-transforming work is the result of many individual acts of kindness.
This year, our generous supporters enabled us to commit more money to vital eye
care programs than ever before, bringing us closer to our vision. We hope you enjoy
reading some of the inspirational stories behind our work, the stories made possible
because of you.

On behalf of Orbis Canada, thank you.

MAKING VISION
A REALITY

Millions of people go blind each year – millions more suffer from poor vision – because they
can not get the care many of us take for granted.

Orbis is determined to change this and make VISION a reality for all. We train doctors, nurses
and medical technicians to save and restore sight. We strengthen and improve eye health sys-
tems by partnering with local hospitals, public health agencies, NGOs and governments.
We also advocate to make fighting blindness a priority.

In the worldwide programs supported by Orbis in 2015:

ON TRAINING

- COUNTRY PROGRAMS AND
HOSPITAL BASED PROGRAMS (HBP)

Orbis focuses on increasing the skills and knowledge of our partners through training, and we take
a team approach.
To make an impact on the entire eye health system in the developing countries, transferring from one
doctor or nurse to an entire team of eye care professionals, Orbis has established long-term, multi-year
projects, known as Country Programs, across 16 countries. We partner with local hospitals and clinics
throughout the regions we serve to provide access to quality eye care. Many times, our Flying Eye
Hospital programs are coordinated with the help of these trusted partners.
Integrated into the Country Program strategy are our Hospital Based Programs (HBPs). HBPs are not
“stand alone” tools for skills and knowledge transfer, but one of several components of a long-term
strategy for capacity building.
Our HBPs are defined by location and time, and designed to address a specific clinical training
need. HBPs support a clear, deliverable outcome identified by the Orbis Program Manager
based on the needs of our local partners. Orbis Volunteer Faculty (VF) is deployed to
work within our partner institutions to transfer knowledge and skill in their local
environment. The average duration of a HBP is 1-2 weeks but can be extended if
the financial and human resources allow for it.
In 2015, Orbis conducted 32 HBPs around the world focusing on
building human and institutional capacity. With each of these 32 HBPs
we have successfully improved the overall quality of patient care while
providing the necessary skill transfer.
