Introduction
Safe Surgical Aid, along with our esteemed partners United Hands Relief and Development (UHR) and Human Development Fund (HDF), proudly announces the successful completion of our Free Cataract Surgery Camp held at Daadab Sub County Hospital from July 10th to 16th, 2024.
This initiative targeted cataracts, one of the leading causes of blindness in underserved communities.
What Are Cataracts?
Cataracts cloud the eye’s lens, gradually impairing vision and reducing quality of life. In regions with limited access to specialized care, this condition often goes untreated.
Recognizing this urgent need, SSAID, UHR, and HDF united to deliver life-changing surgeries — completely free of charge.
Impact
Over the course of the week, volunteer ophthalmologists, nurses, and support staff performed [insert number] cataract surgeries using modern equipment. The restored vision empowers patients to:
- Read and write again
- Move independently
- Reconnect with loved ones
- Return to work and school
Collaboration for Change
This camp would not have been possible without:
- The unwavering support of UHR and HDF
- The hospitality and coordination of Daadab Sub County Hospital
- The dedication of our medical volunteers
- The courage of patients who trusted us with their care
Together, we changed lives and brought hope.
Looking Ahead
We are compiling a detailed report with statistics on procedures and impact. Stay tuned on our website.
This success reaffirms our commitment to affordable, high-quality surgical care in vulnerable communities.
