Hope is not only a survivor, but a leader.
In June of 2021, SEE supported a Level 2 Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) Training Course in Accra, Ghana that lasted the whole month! The physician being trained, Dr. Egbula Eni, traveled from Nigeria to improve his surgical skills and learn the MSICS technique from SEE’s partner, Dr. Thomas Baah. Dr. Eni spent the month learning and practicing, over which time he helped perform 102 sight-restoring surgeries. At the end of his training, Dr. Eni was gracious enough to share with us some of his thoughts on the entire process, including his evaluation of our organization. He had this to say: “I would encourage other ophthalmologists to partner with SEE International, as SEE is an organization that will contribute immensely [to] the fight against preventable blindness in Nigeria, in Africa, and the world at large.”
