In 2019 December, The ceremony of transfer Vitrector, which is necessary for eye surgery to child, 

was held in Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital that only has an eye doctor for child in Malawi.

 

 


 

 

This surgical instrument is indispensible to operate eye surgery for child such as not only eye bleeding 

and damage but also eye diseases like cataract, lid ptosis, and squint.

However, it was impossible to support eye surgery for children who had eye diseases

because the instrument that used in Queen Elizabeth hospital had been broke. 

Therefore, it means children never get eye surgery in Malawi anymore. Accordingly, 

the hospital asked HHI to support surgical instrument in Malawi branch. 

So our branch could handover Vitrector by supporting from L’Occitane for Eye Health Promotion.

 

 


 

In developing countries, many children who have been suffered can go blind 

because they can’t usually being treated in appropriate time. 

Supporting of eye surgical instrument makes that child who has an eye disease can be prevented in not only southern region, 

which Queen Elizabeth hospital is located, but also a whole country.

 

 Thanks to support of Vitrector, it makes that 59 children who have to be treated can get eye surgery promptly. 

Finally, they can see the world again by their healthier eyes.

 

 


 

Dr. Msukwa, a head of ophthalmology department, 

appreciated for supporting surgical instrument through HHI and 

also promised repeatedly that all doctors will do best for Malawi children to treat their eye disease.
