Dr. Sumait Hospital and Aftuder Charity have joined forces to provide free cataract surgery to members of the Somali community who are living with cataracts and need surgical treatment.
Through this partnership, eligible patients will have the opportunity to access cataract surgery at no cost, helping remove financial barriers that may prevent many people from receiving the eye care they need. The initiative is focused on supporting individuals affected by cataracts and improving access to essential eye health services.
Cataracts can affect a person’s ability to see clearly and can make everyday activities more difficult. For patients who require surgery, timely and appropriate treatment can play an important role in improving their vision and quality of life.
The collaboration between Dr. Sumait Hospital and Aftuder Charity reflects a shared commitment to supporting the health and well-being of the Somali community. By making cataract surgery available free of charge, the partnership aims to reach people who may otherwise face difficulties accessing specialized eye care.
The initiative also highlights the importance of collaboration between healthcare institutions and charitable organizations in expanding access to essential medical services. Through this effort, Dr. Sumait Hospital and Aftuder Charity continue to contribute to a healthier and more supported Somali community.
Together, Dr. Sumait Hospital and Aftuder Charity are working to make quality eye care more accessible and help more people receive the cataract treatment they need—free of charge.
