We finally did it.
It was nice seeing so many people from Mulanje regain their Sight after
we did Cataract surgeries at Mulanje district hospital on 20th and
21st April 2012.
Frank Mbewe my right hand man did most of the work and I am very proud
of him.
Bravo to the team that went to Mulanje.
Rotarians, please support more of these eye camps.
Cataract remains the common cause of blindness in MALAWI with over
20,000 blind from the disease.
An operation to remove cataract takes less than 15 minutes (in the
experience hands) so these people should not suffer unnecessarily.
What is needed is to support the team to be able to go and perform
surgeries. In 2011 Malawi had a zero deficit budget; which meant zero community
eye activities.
Should more
Malawians be supporting cataract surgeries from their pockets?
