Fellowship Program

Dr Gulshan Shreshta from Kathmandu undertook a 12 month hands-on fellowship in ophthalmic plastic surgery at Royal Adelaide Hospital & Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide.
He returned to BP Koirala Eye Institute in June 2013 as the country’s leading oculoplastics specialist.
Thank you to the Australian Government’s “Australian Award Fellowships” scheme for sponsoring this high impact sustainable initiative.

Sight For All arranged for paediatric ophthalmologist, Dr Jyoti Shrestha, to travel to Hyderabad, India in 2014 for three months of intensive training with Dr Santosh Honavar in the management of retinoblastoma – a rare but potentially deadly childhood eye cancer.
Thank you to the Eye Cancer Foundation (USA) who generously funded this initiative.
