Himalayan Cataract Project in Ethiopia
The Himalayan Cataract Project www.cureblindness.org coordinated an eye care intervention in Koraro, Ethiopia, in late-April 2008 in partnership with the Millennium Villages Project. During the intervention in the research village of Koraro, Ethiopia, the team examined 3650 people, provided 129 cataract surgeries, pterygia surgeries and over 100 trichiasis surgeries for trachoma. In addition, the entire village received a mass treatment of Zithromax for trachoma, reading glasses were distributed and Vitamin A was provided. The exams revealed a high incidence of Trachoma and blindness from Trachoma, significant vitamin A deficiency and many people who were blind from cataracts. The team went on to Hawzien and Quiha Hospital in Mekelle for hundreds more screenings and cataract surgeries. HCP director Dr. Geoff Tabin and HCP board member Dr. Matt Oliva are among the doctors shown in this video.
