More Good News from Khartoum


The oft-postponed operations day finally took place at the Bashir hospital in the Mayo suburb of Khartoum in mid-November.  355 patients were seen of whom 300 received medicines, mostly eye-drops and vitamins.  48 operations were recommended and carried out, of which 29 were for cataracts and the remainder miscellaneous surgeries.  The follow-up day to review the patients who underwent the operations will be on 13 December.

Here are some photos of some of the patients.
