For clinicians and hospitals

Bring your expertise to better eye-care access

Explore a defined contribution: reviewing information, proposing appropriate local care or helping fund the programme. Start with a professional introduction.

Quick answer

Clinicians and hospitals can enquire about reviewing WAN’s eye-health information, discussing a delivery proposal or professional fundraising. Enquiries do not establish a partnership or funded activity. Named clinical credits and delivery claims require documented approval. No clinician profiles with approved content-review records are currently listed.

Local doctors and specialist support

WAN hires local doctors in Pakistan, Indonesia and Malaysia to perform surgery and arranges for a visiting specialist to support their training and review clinical practice. Care must take place within the relevant local licensing, facility and clinical-governance arrangements.

Around £200 is a cataract surgery planning estimate supplied to WAN by consultant ophthalmic surgeon Mr Mohamed Mohyudin. Actual costs depend on the patient, facility and included care; it is not a fixed price or a guaranteed result.

Mr Mohamed Mohyudin’s professional profile

Specialist training supports the local team; it does not replace responsibility for assessment, informed consent, follow-up and responding to complications. Visit dates and delivery reports are published only when confirmed.

Three ways to contribute

Review patient information

Identify the guides you can review, your relevant expertise and the proposed scope. Review should cover accuracy, uncertainty, urgent advice and local applicability.

Propose a care pathway

Describe the facility, clinical capacity, assessment criteria, budget and follow-up arrangements. A proposal must be assessed before any public service commitment.

Fundraise with colleagues

Support the Gift of Sight programme as a team. Use approved contribution wording; a target is a fundraising aim, not a guaranteed number of operations.

Email a professional enquiryExplore fundraising

Include your professional role, organisation, country and proposed contribution. Please do not include patient records or identity documents.

Clinical review that readers can check

An editorial update is different from clinical sign-off. A review credit should identify the clinician, relevant qualifications, the exact page and content version reviewed, the review date and any limits to scope. Later substantive changes need a new review before the credit is applied to that version.

Public references help readers check a statement; they do not establish that a source organisation endorses WAN. Funding and local availability statements require programme evidence as well as clinical review.

No approved clinical-review profiles published yet

The eye-care pages state their current review status. We will add names and specific review records after the relevant clinician has agreed to the role and publication.

What a delivery proposal needs to establish

  • Clinical responsibility: the qualified clinicians and facility responsible for assessment, treatment, consent, safeguarding and complaints.
  • Practical access: location, dates, eligibility, capacity, patient communication and any charges or coverage.
  • Care continuity: aftercare, urgent escalation, referral arrangements and responsibility for complications.
  • Accountability: an agreed budget, payment evidence and reports that separate assessments, operations and measured outcomes.
  • Publication permission: approval for organisation names, professional profiles, photographs and de-identified programme results.

These are proposal criteria, not a claim that an unnamed facility has already met them. See published activity information and programme reporting.

Support care responsibly

A clinician-led fundraiser can explain why access matters and invite colleagues to contribute. Use the Gift of Sight appeal and its current reporting status. Do not promise one operation per donation unless a specific, approved budget and funding arrangement support that claim.

Questions about eye care and support

Can an ophthalmologist help without running a camp?

Yes, a clinician can enquire about reviewing patient information, helping assess a proposed care pathway or organising professional fundraising. Any clinical role, use of a name or publication credit needs an agreed scope and approval.

Does an enquiry make a hospital a WAN partner?

No. Clinical credentials, facilities, safeguarding, consent, costs, reporting and aftercare need assessment before a delivery arrangement is agreed. Public partner claims require permission and supporting records.

Should I send patient information in my first message?

No. Use the general contact route for your professional role, organisation, country and proposed contribution. Do not include patient names, records, photographs or identity documents. Any later clinical information exchange needs an agreed secure process.

Is PERDAMI a WAN partner?

No partnership or endorsement is claimed. PERDAMI is linked as an independent Indonesian source of public eye-health information.
