Corneas for the Kikiyu: procurement of tissue in East Africa

1. By introducing a viable donor tissue procurement, the International Eye Bank has increased the supply of corneal tissue for Kikiyu Mission Hospital's Eye Unit. 2. Tissue procurement can be realistically handled in off-peak times in the United States. 3. The use of modern communication, an excellent surgical staff and well-maintained surgical equipment, and the generosity of medical volunteers and pharmaceutical suppliers have made this project successful.
