Major cataract intervention - The Himalayan Cataract Project (www.cureblindne...) together with partners from three continents managed a high-volume cataract event in Woldiya, Ethiopia, which provided over 1,100 sight-restoring surgeries in May 2012. In addition to the local team, the HCP medical team included partners from Nepal, the US and Ethiopia: Dr. Sanduk Ruit and a team from the Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology in Kathmandu, Nepal; Dr. Tilahun Kiros and a team from the Quiha Zonal Hospital in Mekelle, Ethiopia; and Drs. Geoff Tabin and Matt Oliva and a host of assistants from the Himalayan Cataract Project. Together the team operated for six days with four operating tables in constant use from dawn until dusk each day.
