We are setting up an excellent ophthalmology service within Pioneer Christian Hospital, a well-estblished non-profit hospital in the north of Congo. At the moment, we are working hard at finding funding, equipment, medication and other consumable surgical items, optical aids and shipment. Initially, we will use some of the existing facilities in the hospital to begin our eye centre. Eventually, we will convert some of the hospital buildings into an out-patient clinic, an operating theatre dedicated to ophthalmology, and a ward just for eye patients. This involves finding more funding, solar panels, water filtration systems and help from builders and decorators.
If you think that you yourself or someone you know can help, please do let us know. We are excited about partnering with you to really make a difference in this world!
