How?
This mission was a continuation of the previous mission, where we had met Prof.
Billong and with whom an agreement was made. In his workplace there is an operating theater with a phacoemulsification machine and an ophthalmological microscope, representing the necessary basic equipment for cataract surgery. He and his team had already made a large screening for cataracts before our arrival. 35 patients were scheduled for cataract surgery with the phacoemulsification technique, a method not yet widespread in throughout the country.
Also, this mission provided a lot of training for doctors, residents and nurses of the hospital. The goal is that between missions, the medical activity continues, using the teaching provided.
