The Eye Surgery Campaign in Somalia: Efforts of the International Association for the Care of War and Disaster Victims – Al-Amin – to Improve Quality of Life and Combat Blindness

Believing in the importance of delivering healthcare services to patients around the world, the International Association for the Care of War and Disaster Victims – Al-Ameen has launched an eye surgery campaign in the Federal Republic of Somalia as part of its specialized medical surgeries project.

The campaign is aimed at performing specialized surgeries in the fields of ophthalmology and eye care. Vision loss is a significant health issue that impacts the lives of individuals and communities. Somalia, in particular, faces numerous health challenges, including high rates of blindness and vision impairment. This campaign therefore goes beyond surgeries alone; it also includes follow-up care and diagnoses, ensuring comprehensive patient care.

This campaign marks an important step toward improving the quality of life for those with eye-related conditions in Somalia. Eye surgeries are essential treatments that can restore hope to individuals who have lost their sight. In this way, Al-Ameen plays a critical role in closing the healthcare gap in underserved communities, advancing human rights, and promoting health equity.
