On the 5th February, Omega hosted an event at the New York Historical Society to celebrate the premiere of «The Hospital in the Sky», a documentary about Orbis International’s Flying Eye Hospital.
The film’s narrator, Omega brand ambassador Cindy Crawford, attended the event alongside her family and Omega president Stephen Urquhart and Jenny Hourihan, CEO of Orbis International.
Orbis International is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing high-quality eye care and treating avoidable blindness around the globe. It also trains local health care professionals in some of the world’s remotest regions. Orbis’s Flying Eye Hospital, a specially-converted jumbo jet, is a fully-equipped mobile ophthalmic hospital and teaching facility.
«The Hospital In the Sky» is a 48-minute joint production between Omega and Orbis. It documents Cindy Crawford and her daughter Kaia’s day aboard the Flying Eye Hospital in Trujillo, Peru. «I have had so many opportunities to do great things, but this trip was really special,» Crawford observed. «To share an experience like this with my daughter and to see firsthand the work that the doctors are doing was incredible.»
It was the second film co-produced by Omega and Orbis International. The first, «Through Their Eyes», featured Daniel Craig who visited the Flying Eye Hospital when it was in Mongolia.
