Back to the Plane

In September 2009, Michael Meier will return to the Orbis DC-10 Flying Eye Hospital. Joining the crew during the program in Jaipur, India and Chittagong, Bangladesh, Michael will report from the aircraft and the hospital to tell you the stories as they happen.

Note: It is planned to update this page regularly during the program. However, this depends on availble on-site technology and internet connection. Updates might therefore be delayed.
