Where was Dr. Ah-Kine?
Dr. Ah-Kine just got back from spending a week in San Miguel, El Salvador, providing eye care as part of the eye campaign in collaboration with ASAPROSAR, a Salvadoran non-profit organization that has been promoting human development with a focus on health as a fundamental right. This was Dr. Ah-Kine's 17th trip, and in addition to providing care to those who can't afford or access it, they also collaborated with local optometrists to share skills and knowledge. This allows for the short term impacts of connecting patients with care and medical devices (donated glasses) or treatments, and the longer term impacts being augmenting the local knowledge base and improving the care that is being able to be provided by locals, for locals.
