OUTREACH PROGRAM

Medical Mission in Mongolia

Bringing Eye Care to Remote Areas

 

  •  Provide eye care for patients who do not have access to care due to geographical and economic barriers

  • The provinces in which we work are selected by the Department of Ophthalmology at the First Hospital and the Mongolian Ophthalmology Society

  • The provinces in which we have initiated eye care projects include Govi Altai, Arkhangai, and Omnugovi

  • We have established a five year MOU to each of these provinces reflecting our long term commitment

  • The eye care program includes treatment of both medical and surgical eye care needs of each province.  This involves visits to the SUMS to provide primary eye care.

  • The team is able to evaluate and treat hundreds of patients

  • The team will operate on over 150 patients per visit performing surgeries such as cataract, pterygium and other eye surgeries

  • These projects are an excellent opportunity for the ophthalmology residents to gain medical and surgical experience, working closely with Mongolian and Canadian surgeons
