This is a blog about my experience as a volunteer at the Kalinga Eye Hospital in Odisha, India during the summer of 2013. I worked through Unite for Sight, a US-based NGO and world leader in providing high quality, cost-effective care to the world's poorest people.

Vaccinated
Today concluded my three week course of vaccines. I don't have the receipts in front of me, but the course ran about 1200AED for Hep A & B. Typhoid vaccine is still scare in the UAE (and not available at City Hospital). Also picked up a 22 day course of malaria prophylactic (a Malarone generic from Mylan) for 800AED. Malaria seems to be quite prevalent. This report from 2011 has the state of Orissa reporting 23% of all India's malaria cases and 20% of its deaths from malaria.
