Basic Eye Training Class for Health Professionals

“Giving Thanks on Thanksgiving”

We want to take a moment to thank all the supporters of Dooley Intermed for making another remarkable project possible.

This is our Dooley sponsored “Basic Eye Training for Health Professionals” class being conducted in cooperation with the Himalaya Eye Hospital in Pokhara, Nepal. The two week immersion course started on November 23rd, and will provide instruction on all aspects of basic eye care, diagnosis and treatment. The participants are from extremely remote health posts in the Dolpo and other regions of Nepal where eye and vision care are virtually nonexistent. Dooley Intermed has provided all the course funding, study materials, travel expenses as well as meals and lodging for the program.
Many crippling diseases, including those that cause preventable blindness, can be treated and cured at very low cost if timely medical intervention is made available. Dooley Intermed has a long history of providing training for healthcare workers in remote regions of the world, creating a long-lasting benefit in the local communities.
As we enjoy our family and friends on Thanksgiving it is important to remember those less fortunate, who lie beyond the reach of traditional healthcare. With your support we can continue to provide health, happiness and good eyesight for people in need in the remote regions of the world. Please help if you can.

Have a great Thanksgiving !

Scott Hamilton, President
