Ophthalmic Care
Ophthalmic Care supports the work of the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem and a project in Dubbo, NSW.
Ophthalmic Care supports an Outreach Program operating out of the Jerusalem Hospital, by paying the annual salary of a Nurse who travels into remote areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip with a mobile unit to deliver diagnostic and primary eye care to the young, frail and elderly who are unable to travel.
Ophthalmic Care also supports a project in Dubbo in conjunction with the Thubbo Aboriginal Medical Service and the Save Sight Institute. The service, launched by the Minister for Health, Mr Tony Abbott MP in August, 2004, provides a tele-ophthalmic eye screening and treatment program for diabetic retinopathy, serving Indigenous patients living in the Macquarie Area Health Service. St John has provided the equipment that is used to carry out the screening and the transmission of the images for diagnosis or storage.
St John is always looking for volunteers to help raise funds for ophthalmic projects such as these.
More information about the St John Eye Hospital Jerusalem can be found on their website http://www.stjohneyehospital.org/
