AMplify - Conversations at the Australian Museum
Live at the AM - Lunchtime Conversations 2019 - Gabi Hollows
18 Oct 2019
Professor Fred Hollows AC by Gabi Hollows AO (with Sandra Sully) New Zealand born, UK trained eye surgeon Fred Hollows’ drive to end the injustice of avoidable blindness emerged from a deep commitment to social equality. The economical approach to ophthalmology – focussing on training local surgeons and reducing the cost of lens - which he and his orthoptist wife Gabi developed, has restored sight to more than 2.5 million people. The Fred Hollows Foundation which the couple established in 1992 just six months before Fred died, continues to empower poor and neglected communities across the world. Recorded in the Hallstrom Theatre at the Australian Museum on 11 June 2019.
