Did you know that, according to Wall Africa, Rwanda has about 30 ophthalmologists working across public and private facilities, roughly two specialists for every million people.

Dr. David Ngabo is one of them. He is currently honing his skills at Red Rover Ventures / Global Retina Institute's Simulation Center, which allows him to practice cataract and vitreoretinal surgeries on a virtual simulator.

Our mutual goal: prevent blindness and visual impairment in every community.

A huge shoutout to the ASRS Foundation and Dr. Dan Alter of FOCUS Inc. for making it all possible!
