  45. <p>Tamale Eye Hospital had the privilege of hosting two distinguished visiting specialists: <strong>Dr. K. V. Ravishankar</strong> from Usha Kiran Eye Hospital, Mysore, India, and <strong>Dr. Luxme Hariharan</strong>, a pediatric eye specialist from New Jersey, USA.</p>
  46.  
  47.  
  48.  
  49. <p>During their one-week visit, we worked together to perform <strong>36 pediatric eye surgeries under general anesthesia</strong>. The majority of these procedures addressed conditions such as <strong>cataract, squint, and glaucoma</strong>, which can severely impact a child’s vision and quality of life if left untreated.</p>

  52.  
  53. <p>We are deeply grateful for their expertise, dedication, and support, which have brought hope and restored sight to many children and their families.</p>

  211. <p>In a powerful collaboration to combat avoidable blindness, the <strong>Tamale Eye Hospital team</strong>, with the support of <strong>Right to Sight and Health</strong>, carried out <strong>103 cataract surgeries</strong> at the <strong>Zebilla District Hospital</strong>.</p>
  212.  
  213.  
  214.  
  215. <p>Many of the beneficiaries were <strong>bilaterally blind</strong>, having lived for years without sight due to a lack of access to proper eye care — a situation worsened by prolonged tribal conflict in the nearby <strong>Bawku</strong> area. For these individuals, the outreach meant more than just surgery; it meant the chance to see loved ones again, return to work, and regain independence.</p>
  216.  
  217.  
  218.  
  219. <p>This effort is part of our shared commitment to reaching underserved communities, especially those affected by conflict and healthcare inequality. Each surgery is a step toward restoring not just sight but also dignity and hope.</p>
  220.  
  221.  
  222.  
  223. <p>We extend our gratitude to the entire team, our partners, and everyone who supports our mission to bring <strong>vision to the vulnerable</strong>.</p>

  252. <p>In the first image, an elderly woman sits quietly, her face marked by years of struggling with blurred vision caused by cataracts. For a long time, she relied on others for even the simplest tasks—walking, eating, and recognizing the faces of her loved ones. The world around her had faded into a haze, making her dependent and isolated.</p>

  309. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On September 13, 2024, the outreach team from Northern Community Eye Hospital met Adamu Muniru during a screening exercise in Zangballung-Bihi. At the time, Adamu could only perceive light in both eyes, severely impacting her ability to care for herself and her family, especially her infant. She relied heavily on her husband and relatives for daily support.</p>
  310. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4615 size-full" src="https://righttosightandhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Adamu-Muniru1.jpg" alt="" width="810" height="1080" /></p>
  311. <p>Adamu was diagnosed with cataracts and scheduled for surgery, which was successfully performed at the hospital on September 19, 2024. Just one day after the operation, Adamu’s vision had improved remarkably, with a visual acuity of 6/24 in both eyes.</p>
  312. <p>Overwhelmed with joy, she expressed, &#8220;I can see my baby very well today!&#8221; Having been blind for two years, Adamu explained that she didn’t seek treatment earlier because she was unaware that her condition was treatable.</p>
  313. <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-4616 size-full" src="https://righttosightandhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Adamu-Muniru2.jpg" alt="" width="810" height="1080" /></p>
  314. <p>Her message to others facing similar struggles is clear: &#8220;Seek help. Go to the hospital and get your eyes examined.&#8221;</p>
  315. <p>Adamu’s story is a powerful reminder of the life-changing impact of eye care and the importance of outreach programs that bring vital services to underserved communities.</p>

  386. <p>Mr. Sulemana Alhassan, a 35-year-old resident of Savelugu Municipal in the Northern Region of Ghana, found his life dramatically altered by cataracts. Despite his youth and strength, he became vulnerable, relying heavily on family, friends, and the broader community for support over the course of a year and several months. His visual acuity was reduced to mere perception of light (PL) in both eyes, rendering him blind and dependent.</p>
  387.  
  388.  
  389.  
  390. <p>Mr. Sulemana&#8217;s condition exemplified the profound impact that untreated cataracts can have, stripping individuals of their independence and drastically affecting their quality of life. However, his story took a hopeful turn when he encountered the Northern Community Eye Hospital Outreach team.</p>
  391.  
  392.

  397.  
  398.  
  399.  
  400. <p>On one fateful day, the Outreach team visited his community as part of their mission to identify and treat cataract cases. Mr. Sulemana seized this opportunity, hopeful that he might regain his sight. Through the Northern Community Eye Hospital Outreach intervention program, he underwent cataract surgery on both eyes.</p>
  401.  
  402.  
  403.  
  404. <p>The first surgery was performed on his right eye. When the bandage was removed, Mr. Sulemana experienced a profound transformation. The ability to see the world again filled him with indescribable joy and gratitude. This moment was so powerful that words could hardly capture the extent of his happiness and relief. It was a moment that marked the beginning of his journey back to independence.</p>
  405.  
  406.  
  407.  
  408. <p>With the success of the first surgery, Mr. Sulemana was prepped for the operation on his second eye. The anticipation of regaining full vision fueled his hope and determination. The Outreach team&#8217;s expertise and care ensured that the second surgery was as successful as the first.</p>
  409.  
  410.  
  411.  
  412. <p>Mr. Sulemana&#8217;s story is a testament to the life-changing power of cataract surgery. His journey from darkness to light underscores the critical importance of accessible eye care services, particularly in underserved regions. It also highlights the transformative impact of the Northern Community Eye Hospital&#8217;s Outreach program.</p>
  413.  
  414.  
  415.  
  416. <p>At the Northern Community Eye Hospital, we are dedicated to changing lives through cataract surgeries. We believe that sight is not just a sensory experience but a vital aspect of a fulfilling life. By restoring vision, we are empowering individuals like Mr. Sulemana to reclaim their independence and improve their quality of life.</p>
  417.  
  418.  
  419.  
  420. <p>Our mission is clear: sight is life. We are committed to bringing this essential service to as many people as possible, ensuring that no one has to endure the debilitating effects of cataracts. Mr. Sulemana Alhassan’s story is just one of many, and we are determined to create many more success stories through our ongoing efforts.</p>

  453.  
  454. <p>In these communities, many elderly individuals have been suffering from vision problems, often unaware that some of their vision loss is reversible. Due to a lack of resources and access to proper medical care, these individuals have endured significant challenges, impacting their quality of life and independence.</p>
  455.  
  456.  
  457.  
  458. <p>The outreach program provided comprehensive eye screenings, identifying those with cataracts and other treatable conditions. With a team of skilled surgeons and modern medical facilities, the Northern Community Eye Hospital successfully performed surgeries to restore sight to these 39 residents.</p>
  459.  
  460.  
  461.  
  462. <p>The success of these surgeries was evident immediately. The reactions of the patients, who could see much better just one day post-operation, were filled with overwhelming joy and excitement. For many, it was a life-changing experience, allowing them to regain independence and reconnect with the world around them.</p>

  501. <p>Memunatu Fuseini, a resident of Kulnyevila in the Tamale Metropolis, has been living with severe visual impairment (VR-PL and VL-HM) for over a year. Relying on her loving little granddaughter for assistance, even for the simplest tasks like going outside or answering nature&#8217;s call, has become a part of her daily life.</p>
  502.  
  503.  
  504.  
  505. <p>On June 20, 2024, a beacon of hope arrived in Kulnyevila. The Northern Community Eye Hospital Outreach Screening Team visited the community to identify and address cataract cases. Mma Memunatu, unable to afford a hospital visit and unaware of potential treatments, seized this opportunity for a screening.</p>

  512.  
  513. <p>Her visual impairment not only impacted her life but also heavily affected her granddaughter, who often missed school to assist her grandmother.</p>
  514.  
  515.  
  516.  
  517. <p>On June 22, 2024, Mma Memunatu underwent cataract surgery through the Northern Community Eye Hospital Outreach intervention program. Miraculously, she regained her sight, with her vision improving to VR-6/36 and VL-6/60 just one day post-operation. We are hopeful that her vision will continue to improve over the coming week.</p>
