Mission Statement
ORBIS prevent and treats blindness by providing quality eye care to transform lives
History of operations in Vietnam
History of operations in Vietnam : ORBIS International launched its cooperation with Vietnamese partners in 1996 with the first hospital-based program (HBP) in collaboration with the Vietnam National Institute of Ophthalmology (VNIO), focusing on retinal disease. In the subsequent year, ORBIS and VNIO strengthened their partnership by signing a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), laying the groundwork for future collaborative efforts to eliminate avoidable causes of blindness in Vietnam. This partnership has continued to grow and expand in scope; it has played an important role in providing the technical advice and ophthalmic quality control for all subsequenes ORBIS-supported projects and activities throughout Vietnam. In 2003, ORBIS opened a permanent office in Hanoi to oversee all in-country activities. Since then, ORBIS has positioned itself as a leading eye care development organization in Vietnam and in selected neighbouring countries in South East Asia
