A key goal for the Kabgayi Eye Hospital is to train more local eye surgeons and secure it's financial sustainability. I have been impressed with the positive attitude, team work, and vocation to serve. I am so grateful for the opportunity to visit and learn.

[Augusto Azuara-Blanco @AAzuaraBlanco]

Visiting Kabgayi Eye Hospital in Rwanda, serving the local population 90 minutes from the capital Kigali. A very rewarding experience. Dr Theophile medical director, is a superb surgeon and leader. He has built a centre of excellence, treating all eye conditions

[Augusto Azuara-Blanco @AAzuaraBlanco]

Our friend Dr Michael Mikhail, until recently a NHS consultant ophthalmologist and retinal surgeon in North West of England has moved with his family and doing a lot of good. There's only 2 retinal surgeons in the country...
