Alemayehu Sisay & Clare O'Dea

Earlier this month, Clare O’Dea, Board Director of Orbis Ireland, spoke to Alemayehu Sisay, the Country Director for Orbis International Ethiopia.  Alemayehu is an Ophthalmologist and a public health expert and has worked with Orbis for the last 18 years.

Clare asked Alemayehu about the current Covid restrictions in Ethiopia and how they have affected the work of Orbis in the country.  

Alemayehu explains how Orbis’s innovative culture has allowed us to quickly adapt in response to COVID-19 and he explains how our work has been forced to change.  He points out how the health messaging around Covid-19 is very similar to that of trachoma and how this is a positve aspect of the restrictions.
