Teaching in Afghanistan PDF Print E-mail

The Tom Little Hospital in Kabul is looking for a few good ophthalmologists to teach the ophthalmologists in Afghanistan.
Over all these years NOOR has established and provided eye care in the whole of Afghanistan, set up facilities to train eye care professionals at all levels and has partnered with the Government of Afghanistan in handing over programs well established. 
There are positive things happening in Afghanistan! Men, women and children’s eye sight is improved, blind people receive surgery and can see again. We thank God for bringing light to Afghanistan through NOOR and we thank you for all your support.


Please help us train eye specialists in Afghanistan! 
While some of our facilities achieve over 70% cost recovery we still need much outside help with our training programs.

Dr. Terence Klingele, visiting ophthalmologist to the Tom Little Eye Hospital in Kabul in September 2011 says: 
‘Afghanistan is unique in the whole world in that a single NGO has trained almost all ophthalmologists of the entire country. And all this has been accomplished on such a low budget!’ 

Do you know an ophthalmologist? 
Or are you yourself an ophthalmologist? Would you consider coming to Kabul for as short as 1-2 weeks or long term to teach our doctors?
Our Afghan ophthalmologists have very little chance of improving professionally because it is so difficult for them to leave the country, attend congresses or interact with other ophthalmologists.
