Three children were operated in the Puri Raharja Hospital, Denpasar in this Program in April – two boys (5 and 3 years old), both blind in one eye and one 7-year-old girl who was blind in both eyes.
Thanks to the Direct Aid Program of the Australian Embassy Jakarta, which funded these operations, and to ophthalmic surgeon, Dr Wayan Gde Dharyata. Thank you also to the anaesthetist who volunteered his time for this program – Dr I GN Agung Putra Arimbawa, SpAn,MBiomed.
