Dubai has recently welcomed a unique medical training facility known as the ‘Flying Eye Hospital.’ This extraordinary plane, originally constructed in 1973, has been transformed into a fully equipped hospital on wings. Operated by Orbis, the Flying Eye Hospital is dedicated to providing eye care and training medical professionals to combat blindness and eye diseases worldwide.
The aircraft is maintained by a highly skilled team, primarily composed of former FedEx mechanics specialized in the DC-10 model. Their expertise is crucial to keeping the flying hospital operational and safe for its essential medical missions.
As the hospital travels globally, it brings hope and healthcare to underserved communities by offering:
- Hands-on training for local doctors and healthcare workers
- Workshops aimed at improving medical skills
- Surgical demonstrations to share advanced techniques
This latest stop in Dubai highlights the city’s expanding role as a hub for innovation and humanitarian efforts within the medical field. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the flying hospital serves as a unique platform for knowledge exchange and enhanced eye health services.
