Today, we are excited to announce a new specialty eye center being built in Ethiopia by our partner organization, the Himalayan Cataract Project (HCP).

WEEMA continues to celebrate our successful 2020 cataract campaign where we conducted surgeries for more than 1000+ patients. In the next few weeks, we’ll share a couple short stories to celebrate our patients’ journeys to regain sight:

Last week, WEEMA held its 6th annual High Volume Cataract Surgical Campaign at Hosanna General Hospital in partnership with the Himalayan Cataract Project, Hadiya Zonal Health Department and Wachemo University. During four busy and hectic days, over 1000 patients (1054 eyes to be exact) underwent cataract surgery.

Next week we will all be gathering at Hosanna General Hospital for the annual High Volume Cataract Surgical Campaign.  This will be our 6th campaign in partnership with the Himalayan Cataract Project and over 1200 patients have already been scheduled for surgery.
