Who?
Martine, Ines and Ornella. Mission dedicated to the surgeries of patients after screening of the previous mission.
How?
The first days we stayed at the Doungolo Hospital for consultations and to organize the surgeries.
The surgeries took place in Douala, Clinique la Grace, in an operating theater that had never been used. All the equipment was brought from Geneva, from donations. We operated on 16 patients using the phacoemulsification technique. We encountered many logistical and human obstacles, but we managed to get the operating theater up and running.
