Project Sennar City, Sudan
2015 – 2021...
First mission: October 2017
This was a Fact Finding Mission in order to evaluate the possibility for development of an eye surgery center in Sennar City, Sudan. The findings resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding for cooperation during the next 5 years.
Second mission: January 2019
Due to political unrest and incomplete facilities to perform eye surgery, we had to change our goals: in cooperation with AACO an alternative programm was done, providing glasses for 300 poor people, delivering medical drugs, treating general health problems and giving lectures to students.
Third mission: February 2020
Apart from continuing the development of eye surgery (71 cataract operations) and providing glasses (300), first steps are done to establish a Sudanese Austrian Eye Care Center in Sennar City.
