INTRODUCTION
Orbis International is a nonprofit global development organization dedicated to saving sight worldwide. Our mission is to preserve and restore sight by strengthening the capacity of local institutions in their efforts to prevent and treat blindness. Our goal is a world in which no one is needlessly blind, where quality eye care is available to everyone. Since 1982, ORBIS has treated and transformed the lives of more than 10 million people in 87 countries.
Orbis has been working in Vietnam since 1996, supporting the country’s efforts to prevent and treat avoidable blindness, especially among children, marginalised rural communities, and people with diabetes. Orbis established a permanent office in Vietnam in 2003.
Orbis Vietnam works closely with the Ministry of Health, medical universities, and eye care institutions to strengthen the overall eye health system of the country. Orbis also implements training programs that are building the skills of entire eye care teams across the country – from health workers in rural clinics to eye surgeons in urban centers.
