From Afternoons, 1:30 pm on 19 October 2017

Today marks 25 years of work from the Fred Hollows Foundation, an organisation trying to end preventable blindness in the developing world.

The not-for-profit organisation based in Fiji has carried out more than 50,000 sight-saving surgeries in its 25 years in the Pacific.

Lead opthalmologist Dr Mundi Qalo talks to Jesse about the work and what's needed in the next 25 years.
