Besides, Cambodia lacks well-trained eye surgeons. To remedy this issue, WFA will help upgrade a local hospital to establish a fully pediatric eye clinic that can provide the state-of-the-art services. Also, WFA will set up a chain of eye dispensaries that can provide eye care services to Cambodian orphans in remote areas. Training will also be provided for Cambodian ophthalmologists. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
