title: ["ORO" (Opportunity Recycling in Ophthalmology) Project '90: Collection of usable ophthalmologic equipment for the Dr. Bétrix Clinic for Women/Cameroon].
abstract: The developmental-assistance entreprise, "Opportunity Recycling in Ophthalmology (ORO)", recycles used but still usable equipment in Ophthalmology and material from the storage-rooms of eye clinics and private ophthalmological practices to responsible recipients in the Third World. ORO was found in 1977 and was given "Honorable Mention" from "Prix Rolex à l'esprit d'entreprise" in 1978. The current project consists of locating, reconditioning, and organizing the transport of material for the Dr. A.-F. Bétrix Clinic in Kusseri, in the most northern province/Cameroon. As always, ORO is here, too, dependent on the generosity of clinics and private ophthalmologists.
