Orbis Flying Eye Hospital makes vision a reality
By Daphne Teo, Associate Director, Media Relations, Orbis International

Imagine a world without sight. A child
never seeing his or her mother's or father's
face clearly, never seeing the sunset or
having to constantly rely on others to do
everyday tasks.
This is the reality of not only the 285
million people around the world who are
visually impaired, but also of Shu Wen.
Only 7 years old, Shu Wen was diagnosed
with glaucoma and lives in Jinan in the
Shandong province in Eastern China. Many
people like Shu Wen live in parts of the
world where access to health care is limited due to poverty and limited resources.
In fact, it is estimated that 90 percent
of people with visual impairment live in
developing countries.

Orbis operates the
Orbis Flying Eye
Hospital (FEH), a
fully equipped mobile
teaching hospital
housed inside of
a DC-10. On the
outside, the plane is
just another aircraft;
inside, it's like no
other.
