This is very cool and operates world wide and yes they do a lot of work right here in the US. The goodwill tour in Los Angeles was kicked off in October of 2011 which is dedicated to helping those in the US. There’s a big focus on children of course who need surgery. FedEx just donated a new DC-10 for the next flying hospital. The flying eye hospital has been around for quite a while. If you go to the website, you can see the entire layout of the jet.

(WMC-TV) – Doctors and nurses from the Mid-South are helping people around the world with eye problems.
ORBIS International and their eye care professionals and aviation staff are able to save the eyesight of millions of people around the world. They said none of this would be possible without the flying eye hospital.
The world’s only aircraft with a fully functional eye hospital on board landed in Memphis Wednesday as part of the North American Goodwill Tour.
