Ophthalmology Clinic in Niger

Muntada Aid Sets up an Ophthalmology Clinic With Free Glasses for Patients in Niger

It is estimated that regionally, just three ophthalmologists per million population are available in Sub-Saharan Africa.

On our latest mission to Niger, we are accompanied by Dr Adeel, who is accessing people and prescribing them glasses, which are provided free by Eye Care Express UK.

Overall, there is a catastrophic shortage of professionals qualified to deliver optometry services in the region, insufficient eye health personnel in rural areas, and extremely low cataract surgical rates.

During our ongoing deployment, we aim to provide at least 800 cataract surgeries and access hundreds of patients with prescription glasses.

Since 2021, Muntada Aid has carried out over 4000 cataract surgeries in four countries.

Thank you, everyone, for your fantastic support.
