Dr. Paulita Pamela Pantig-Astudillo, past DOVS Chief Resident and Pediatric Ophthalmology Fellow facilitated the donation of a RetCam II camera from The Hospital for Sick Children/SickKids of Toronto, where she completed an additional post-residency fellowship. The trial proceeded last November 14, 2016 at the sOJR.
The camera enhances the imaging and documentation capabilities of any center. Valuable in a wide range of clinical settings, it has a special value in documenting eye diseases of Filipino children such as intraocular tumors. Characterization and continued care of these potentially life-threatening diseases are made more precise with this instrument, It also has the potential to enhance care of patients with diseases that lead to preventable blindness, such as retinopathy of prematurity.
This donation also demonstrates the potential for exchanges across peoples and institutions to improve lives across borders and seas. The DOVS stands proudly with The Hospital for Sick Children in its commitment to a bright and better future for sick kids, wherever they may be, and be from.
