Question

  The history of ORBIS International began in the 1970s. At that time,Dr David Paton from the USA visited many developing countries. He found that the high costs prevented most doctors and nurses in these areas from receiving international medical training programmes.

   Dr Paton thought there should be a mobile teaching hospital. ORBIS flying eye hospital took off for the first time in 1982. Since then,the flying eye hospital and its international medical team have carried out (實施) treatment and training programmes in more than 85 countries.

   Besides the flying eye hospital,ORBIS has also set up offices in some developing countries. In many other countries,ORBIS works together with local hospitals and provides one-week-long training programmes.

   ORBIS has also started a programme called Cyber-Sight. It works through the Cyber-sight Website to provide an e-library and e-learning programmes for doctors and nurses.

   So far,more than 3,000,000 people have directly received medical treatment and more than 124,000 doctors and nurses have been trained in ORBIS programmes. Most importantly,as many as 27 ,5000,000 children and adults have benefited (受益) from ORBIS programmes worldwide.
