Operation International's Restore Vision Team accomplishes another "first", led by Dr. Seth Meskin
Operation International’s growing footprint across the globe would not be possible without our generous supporters and dedicated volunteers. But with each mission, there are also countless people behind the scenes that help bring our impact to those who need it most.
For Team Operation Restore Vision this year, that passionate helper came in the form of one Kenyan-born American nurse determined to give back to his community. The team’s trip to Kakamega, Kenya—a first for Operation International—all started when nurse Ian Otinga reached out to Operation International last year.
“Ian was very interested and passionate in trying to help his community,” said ORV leader Seth Meskin, MD. “I spoke with him and very quickly said, ‘This is going to be fantastic.’ We have someone who is very motivated to make this work.”
The first eye surgical team to visit the Western region of Kenya, Team ORV performed 247 free, life-changing eye operations in just one week. Those numbers are particularly staggering given that local ophthalmologists—due to a shortage of providers and equipment—typically perform around 10 surgeries in one week. The region has only two ophthalmologists for its population of roughly 2 million people.
Plus, for many of the 247 patients, the impact of surgery was immediate. "Many people came in being guided by someone else and the next day are walking around independently," Dr. Meskin said.
In addition to life-changing surgical procedures, Team ORV helped staff at Kakamega County Hospital improve their capacity for eye care.
