Christian Blind Mission, working with the Episcopal Church of South Sudan’s Diocese of Wanyjok and the Northern Bahr el Ghazal State health ministry, launched an eye-care campaign in South Sudan to treat 5,000 people.
The campaign began in Aweil East County after completing work in Aweil North County. Dr. Aguer Angok, director of Malualkon Hospital, explained the initiative intends to perform cataract surgery on 1,500 patients and provide additional eye care to 3,500 more people in the two counties.
Patients expressed hope for improved quality of life. David Mathok Ngong, who has lived with impaired vision for 12 years, said he wants to return to farming. Daniel Garang Aleu received surgery on one eye and anticipates a second operation. This is the second round of the eye-care campaign led by the partnering organisations in Northern Bahr el Ghazal State.
