training of ophthalmologists in africa<\/h1>\n

The number of people affected by severe visual impairment and blindness in Africa is growing, even though most of the causes are preventable (cataracts, secondary damage due to untreated diseases such as trachoma, diabetes, glaucoma). The reason for this is that there are not enough competent, efficient, and passionate ophthalmologists available to the population. We intend to create training locations for trainee ophthalmologists in rural areas in Africa. \"Ausbildungspl\u00e4tzeAccess to remote parts of Africa is another problem that is difficult to influence, both for the provision of services and for the training of regional ophthalmologists.<\/p>\n

Our goal is to create training sites for trainee ophthalmologists in rural settings in Eswatini and Mozambique. The theoretical and clinical training will enable the ophthalmologists to provide ophthalmic services with the limited resources available.<\/p>\n

The project is a collaboration with common goals between Dr. Jonathan Pons<\/strong> (ophthalmologist), Mercy Air<\/strong> and the Fight4Sight Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

mobile clinic for the poorest people in tanzania<\/h1>\n

In Tanzania, several women still die every day as a result of pregnancy and childbirth complications – we cannot and will not accept this high mortality rate. \"Mobile The mobile clinic was set up together with the Nuru Foundation to provide mothers and babies with dignified, professional medical care, regardless of their financial situation. The clinic has been on the road every day since February 2023 and has since been able to carry out more than 1000 pregnancy checks, around 10’000 general medical consultations, 1350 laboratory tests and more than 2500 vaccinations for infants.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the dedicated support of the Fight4Sight Foundation, the clinic was able to be equipped with solar energy in 2024. This not only ensures reliable health care, but also the long-term self-financing of the project.<\/p>\n

The following video gives you an insight into everyday life at the mobile clinic:<\/strong><\/p>\n
