Our Montero Medical Missions' team of ophthalmologist, Dr.
Peyton Neatrour and his humanitarian family of five will be bringing along with
them half a dozen corneas in their trip to Ghana, June 22 till 29, 2012. MMM
will be working in partnership with Ghana Unite for Sight organization. This is
our first international project partnership, other than in the Philippines where we partner with Physicians for
Peace Philippines .
Through the generousity of the Lions Medical EyeBank [Norfolk ] and the
leadership of its CEO, David Korroch, the six corneas will be cold-packaged in
styrofoam the morning of the team's departure and hopefully then transplanted
within the following couple of weeks. Mr. Korroch together with the late Mr.
Moon Kosjer and Mr. Ernie Hardee was instrumental in the founding of the
first Lions Medical EyeBank of Southeast Asia, located in Cebu City , Philippines
