A project designed to prevent or alleviate blindness among the children of Ha Nam will set up a network to study eye-related diseases, improve the quality of eye care services at Ha Nam hospital for Ophthalmology, and restore the eyesight of children who are at high risk of blindness.

In addition, ORBIS will provide training courses for medical staff at district and communal levels, assist in raising public awareness of eyesight protection for children, provide equipment to the hospital, and build eye clinics in Binh Luc and Thanh Liem districts.
