Ohana One exemplifies how partnerships can expand organizational capacity while creating synergistic programs that benefit from combined expertise and resources. Their 2024 partnership with Pipeline Worldwide involved collaborative surgical camps that provided immediate life-changing interventions for patients who would otherwise lack access to surgical care.
Their first joint surgical camp with Pipeline in Uganda successfully completed 36 surgeries, providing everything from routine procedures to complex operations that required specialized expertise. The upcoming November 2025 surgical camp represents continued commitment to this direct service model.
What distinguishes Ohana One's partnership is their integration of surgical services with technology advancement for continuing medical education. They recognize that sustainable healthcare improvement requires not just immediate interventions but ongoing capacity-building among local healthcare providers. Their technology donations support this broader vision of healthcare development.
Through their partnership with TeleVU and Vuzix, Ohana One donated Smart Glasses for medical professionals that enable real-time consultation with specialists, remote training opportunities, and documentation of procedures for educational purposes. They also provided the technology and Smart Glasses specifically for Pipeline's Simulation Container Lab at Lonyi Village, enabling advanced medical education that hasn’t previously been possible in such remote locations.
Their donation of cameras for installation in the Simulation Container Lab creates additional educational capacity by enabling recording and streaming of training sessions. This technology allows Pipeline to provide continuing medical education to healthcare workers who cannot travel to the simulation facility while creating a library of training materials for ongoing use.
Ohana One's technology partnership extends Pipeline's impact in strengthening healthcare delivery for communities in Northern Uganda. This combination of immediate surgical interventions with long-term capacity building creates sustainable improvements in healthcare quality and accessibility.
