Dear Friends,
It is with pleasure that we take this time to reflect on theaccomplishments of 2011 and thank all of our generousdonors. Together with our partners, HCP contributed tothe examination and treatment of over 400,000 patientsand provided over 40,000 surgeries. Of equal importance,your support helped strengthen the local ophthalmiccapacity in ten countries in the Himalayan region andSub-Saharan Africa – Nepal, India, Bhutan, China, NorthKorea, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya and South Sudan(the world’s youngest country).
After working in mountainous Asia for over fifteen years, itis gratifying to see that high-quality eye care has becomethe standard of care, particularly in Nepal, northern Indiaand Bhutan. It is equally satisfying to see the developmentof quality eye care programs taking hold in Sub-SaharanAfrica, where we are developing critical infrastructure fortwo eye care institutions in east and west Africa. Concurrentto the infrastructure investments, we are focused on skillstransfer training for eye care personnel at all levels-inhospital and non-hospital outreach settings. We arefortunate to have volunteer ophthalmologists who donatetheir time to provide critical follow up training with ourpartners who live and work in places of great need. In 2011,there were 24 weeks of donated ophthalmologist time.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thankUSAID/ASHA for its support of our programs in Nepal andGhana including the Tilganga Expansion, Refractive
Surgery Unit and Renewable Energy Demonstrationprojects at Tilganga, and support to construct and equipthe new training facility at the Komfo Anokye TeachingHospital in Kumasi, Ghana.
Finally, we would like to introduce our newest program,HCP Procurement, which was initiated in November 2011to improve the sourcing of ophthalmic equipment, bothfor HCP and for externalpartners. In its first two monthsof operation, the programsourced over $460,000 inquality equipment for HCPprograms and an additional$15,000 for external parties.The procurement programensures that our partnerfacilities receive qualityequipment at good prices – maximizing every donor dollar.
On behalf of the people we serve, the partners withwhom we work, and the entire Board and Staff ofthe Himalayan Cataract Project, thank you for all ofyour help.

Training Profile: SICS TrainingManual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS) with an intraocular lensimplant continues to be the most efficient procedure for reducingcataract blindness in the developing world. In 2011, Tilganga trained 10ophthalmologists in SICS. In addition to supporting the training, HCPprovides equipment and consumable support for the trainee to return tohis or her home hospital ready to provide cataract care.
“Overall, it was a great honor and privilege to have this training. Thetraining has not only boosted my confidence but also renewedmy enthusiasm and passion for the job. I would like to assure youthat I shall strive to transfer the skills I gained to my residents to the bestof my abilities and try to bring success in the fight against treatableblindness in Ethiopia.”

Training at TilgangaIn 2011, HCP supported the training of:
• 1 full year sub-specialty fellowship.• 10 Ophthalmologists in SICS.• 4 Ophthalmic Assistants (2 from Ethiopia; 2 from Bhutan).• 20 trainees received Primary Eye Care Training.
ObservershipsHCP supports sub-specialty training for Tilganga ophthalmologistsin the US (see our Affiliated Medical Institutions, page 32)through observerships. In 2011, four doctors from Tilganga
received training in retina and neuro-ophthalmology at theJohn A. Moran Eye Center in Utah where Co-Director Dr. GeoffTabin leads the International Division of Ophthalmology.
Eyebanking: Improving Corneal CareTogether with Tilganga and SightLife, HCP continues tosupport strengthened eye banking and cornea care in Nepal.In 2011, 163 corneas were collected for surgery at Tilganga’seye bank, of which 150 were used for transplantation atTilganga, 6 were donated to Bhutan and 7 were distributed toother hospitals in Nepal.
Increased Care at Hetauda – Tilganga’s FirstCommunity Eye HospitalOver 3,300 surgeries were provided at the Hetauda Community Eye Hospital in 2011.Community Eye Hospitals serve as surgical facilities with at least one full time ophthalmologiston staff and a full team of eye care professionals. The team at Hetauda is engaged in extensiveoutreach work, and they have steadily increased the surgical volume each year. The numberof surgeries has more than doubled since 2009 after the HCP investment in infrastructure –see chart below.
Dolakha ExpandsTogether, HCP and TIO have made a long-term commitmentto restoring and reopening the Dolakha Lions CommunityEye Center (DLEC). Over the next several years, HCP and TIOwill increase its support for training and equipment andbring the center under the Tilganga umbrella by cyclingTilganga residents and doctors through the hospital on aregular basis. Each year Tilganga’s MD Residency Programaccepts 5 new residents who cycle through the 9 differentcommunity eyecenters supportedby Tilganga.

Dr. Tabin was joined byAffiliated Ophthalmologist Dr. Alan Crandall, a team from the ophthalmologydepartment at Weill Cornell Medical College including Drs. Don D'Amico, PaulChan and Grace Sun, two ophthalmic assistants from Tilganga, Mark Orrs, a PhDresearcher from Columbia University, a local cataract surgeon and ophthalmicassistant from the Kiguma Development Foundation, and a resident fromKilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, Tanzania.
The team provided 414 surgeries through the intervention. Almost all of thepatients were totally blind prior to the surgical workshop, and as such, there wasconsiderable joy during the post-operative exams. In addition to the surgicalintervention, Mark Orrs continued with research on the economic impact ofsight-restoration. This research is ongoing and will become part of a larger researchinitiative to be undertaken in Ethiopia in 2012.

Jakarta Post features Dr. Sanduk Ruit’s work in IndonesiaThe Jakarta Post featured an article about Dr. Ruit’s work in Indonesia. In June, Dr. Ruit performednearly 800 cataract surgeries in North Sumatra. Dr. Ruit plans to provide surgical training for 50physicians in Indonesia enabling them to provide sutureless cataract surgery for patients throughoutthe country. According to Dr. Ruit, “some 48 percent of blindness in the world is due to cataracts,especially resulting from negligence and the inability to afford surgery. Cataract blindness can in factbe cured but there are patients who can’t undergo surgery for financial reasons.”
Himalayan Cataract Project’s far-reaching work is profiled inEye World magazineEye World, the magazine of the American Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgery, wrote a profile onHCP's in-depth work throughout the Himalayas and Sub-Saharan Africa. Many of the nonprofit'saccomplishments are due to the infrastructure HCP has worked to implement, the reporter said.
"That's what HCP is really about — infrastructure, training, and education, not just fly-by visits in a vacuum. These doctors dig in, training localpractitioners and leaving behind a legacy of cataract surgery excellence that continues to benefit the area well after the HCP team returns totheir countries."

The dinner was sponsored by StandardChartered Bank, a long-time supporter of eye care through its “Seeing is Believing” campaign.
Geoff’s talk, Widening Our Lens: Seeing Global Health as an Economic Investment, underscored the economicimplications of blindness.

“I saw what was required of my family ... to simply care and watch out for her ...so, knowing that others are blind, of 'preventable' diseases ... struck me as a fan-tastic opportunity to make a significant impact on the lives of other familiesaround the world ... and to help as God has blessed me and my family ... so thatothers may have an opportunity to enjoy life to its fullest ... and yes, in an incredi-ble memory to my sister ... who inspired this amazing and continuing journey!”
— Drew Hosea
