An interview with an ORBIS doctor
Amy is interested in the work that ORBIS doctors and nurses do.She found an interview with one of the ORBIS doctors.Here is the interview.
Interviewer:Dr Ma,please tell us something about blindness.
Dr Ma:Blindness affects about 45 million people around the world,mostly in poor countries,
and about 80 per cent of these cases can be cured or prevented.However,many people do not
have the money for medical treatment.
Interviewer:How does ORBIS help?
Dr Ma:ORBIS uses a flying eye hospital to visit poor countries.On the plane,volunteer
doctors perform operations.The plane is also used as a teaching centre.
Interviewer:Dr Ma,you said that you work on a plane.Why don't you work in a hospital?
Dr Ma:Many of our patients are so poor that they can't afford to travel to hospital,so we have
to go to them.Also,local doctors and nurses can come to our plane to learn about eye operations.We teach them new skills and share our knowledge.They can even watch the operations on video.By training local doctors and nurses,we hope to help even more people.
Interviewer:How many operations do you perform during a visit?
Dr Ma:During my last visit,I operated on 150 patients on the plane.When I worked in a
hospital,I used to do only two or three operations a day.It's hard work and we need to work very
quickly,but I'm used to it.
Interviewer:You've done such an important job that people must be really grateful to you.
Dr Ma:Yes,indeed they are.However,the most important thing for us is that we can help
people see again.I'm proud to be able to help so many people.
Interviewer:Thank you very much for your time,Dr Ma.Is there anything else you'd like to say to
our readers?
Dr Ma:We're the lucky ones.Modern medicine is developing so quickly that we can treat and
cure most eye problems and improve the lives of patients.All we need is enough money to carry
on with our work.We hope people will support our work by sending donations to ORBIS.
