For the last few days we have been looking at the facilities and we have been monitoring the surgeries, seeing the outpatient setting, and in fact what I found is a facility that is state-of-the-art and compatible to the best facilities that exist in the world. The surgeries are done by extremely well trained and incredibly experienced surgeons that perform surgery in the state-of-the-art fashion, that has been extraordinary to see. And surprisingly, I would say that one of the most important aspects of their care is that they actually care about each and every patient that they see. The quality of the service is extraordinary, but even more extraordinary is the way that they treat each and every individual in this institution as if they were family. It really is a model for institutions delivering eye care throughout the world”.
