Kenya 2019
KENYA 2019

This was a brand new partnership for us. We spent a week at Hekima Place, an all-girls orphanage and school to provide basic vision screening and develop partnerships with the local hospital for future work in that area of Nairobi. Our team for this trip consisted of oral surgeons, gynecologist, nurses, and volunteers to meet the needs of the orphanage. Most of these girls of various ages have never had a basic physical. In addition to the medical services, we hoped to be an inspiration for the girls, especially the ones who hope to become healthcare providers.

GHANA 2019

We returned to Friends’ Eye Center at the end of January for one week with donated equipment that improves the pediatric anesthesia monitoring during surgery. We are working with local partners to outfit the operating theaters with a few more items such as better lighting, sterilizing equipment, and more patient tables. We have a few patients that we couldn’t operate on last year because the lack of cauterization units, etc. We will be following up on these cases in particular.

Dr. Seth Wanye is the main director of Friends Eye Centre in Tamale, Ghana. He currently serves approximately 2 million patients in a very under-served region. He is a Unite for Sight Ambassador. Currently most of sub-specialty care for the Friends Eye Centre is supported by various global mission groups. We will be providing oculoplastics (eyelid and reconstructive surgeries), pediatric, and corneal surgeries for the Centre on our trip at the end of September. We will also be educating the physicians and staff in surgical techniques, sterilization process, etc. We will also hand-carry various needed surgical equipment and tools asked by Dr. Wanye.
