Form 990, Part III, Section 1, Line Paragraph A In 2022 Orbis continued to design and deliver impactful global programs that prevented vision loss and blindness and strengthened existing health systems to reach scale. A total of 63 active projects were being implemented in 11 countries Bangladesh, China, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Mongolia, Nepal, Peru, South Africa, Vietnam, and Zambia through 287 strategic partners. 461 health facilities were supported through Orbis funding in 2022. 81 337 of these facilities were at primary health care level which underscores the importance of the work Orbis is supporting to improve access by bringing eye care services closer to communities. By end of 2022, Orbis had supported 1,797,945 eye screening and examinations, prescribed 92,382 eyeglasses, and conducted 55,436 eye surgeries including Trachoma Trichiasis surgeries. 30,248 health care providers were trained worldwide, and Cybersight utilization increased by a record 36 surpassing the 20 annual growth target. Additionally, 3,759,978 doses of Zithromax and Tetracycline eye ointment were distributed to meet goals of the Trachoma Elimination program. Form 990, Part III, Section 1, Line Paragraph B There was steady and successful re-launching of in-person hospital based trainings in India on Glaucoma and Strabismus Medical Retina in Mongolia and Pediatric Strabismus in Ethiopia. Blended learning virtual and in-person training approaches were introduced through Digital Training Hubs, hybrid wet-labs and simulation-based training in Bangladesh, China, India, Mongolia, Vietnam and Zambia, resulting in the adoption of innovative training methods and optimization of Cybersight utilization. In Ghana, adoption of the World Health Organization Training of Trainers in primary eye care was a cost-effective and sustainable approach for the regional health authority. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, blended learning was occasionally part of Flying Eye Hospital project design. With the lessons learned from virtual-only programming in 2020 and 2021, incorporating virtual learning into in-person projects is now a standard in Flying Eye Hospital project design and implementation.
