FIMA Eye Hospital Genina - Sudan
The first eye hospital by FIMA Save Vision was established in Genina, Sudan. The government renovated an old school building into a hospital and provided paramedical staff. The eye care equipment was sent from Pakistan, donated by PIMA. As there was no local consultant available
in the region, Dr. Usman Saeed, a consultant ophthalmologist from Pakistan, stayed for two months to provide eye care and train a local doctor. According to the latest report from this hospital, more than 10,000 cataract surgeries have been performed there.
