Ben Roberts from Tenwek Hospital shares this fun picture in his newsletter recently: Pictured below is a typical day of eye surgery at Tenwek Hospital in Bomet, Kenya. While currently there is only one operating theatre, the surgical space is maximized by doing 3 simultaneous surgeries. I am seated on the left; our clinical officer, David Sawe, on the right; and our current ophthalmology resident in the middle. Though crowded, it makes for good accountability and jovial fellowship during long days. We look forward to keeping you updated on the construction of our new eye facility in the months ahead . . . currently we are sifting through local approvals needed to begin!

MSICS Training for Surgeons
There is tremendous need for a very good cataract procedure where phacoemulsification technology is either not available or too expensive to provide to the masses that need surgery. Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) is the perfect surgery for much of the world: it is inexpensive, effective, produces minimal astigmatism, sutureless, safe, relatively quick to perform and is relatively simple to learn with good instruction. If you have an interest in doing medical missions in the future, strongly consider MSICS training. Our friends at Global Sight Alliance and Vision Outreach International would love to assist you!
