AirAsia Group has partnered with Orbis International.
Orbis operates through its MD-11-based ophthalmic teaching hospital, the Flying Eye Hospital; its telemedicine and online learning platform, Cybersight; and long-term programs in countries around the world. It aims to strengthen locally led eye care systems in Bangladesh, China, India, Vietnam, and other countries.
Over the next five years, AirAsia Group will provide flight ticket support equivalent to US$100,000 annually to assist Orbis teams working across the Asia-Pacific region. The support will be used for workforce development and improving access to care in collaboration with local hospitals, ministries of health, training institutions, and eye care professionals, while also raising awareness of preventable vision impairment and sustainable eye care systems.
