1,500 cataract patients have benefitted from a free consultation organized by the Cameroonian Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR) in Kaélé, Far North region of Cameroon.

Men and women aged between 40 and 85 years old, answered present for the cataract surgery.

The surgical team led by the rapid intervention battalion (BIR) comprised of two medical colonels who were equipped with “a high-end technology equipment,” MMI has learned.

The procedures were carried out in the presence of administrative authorities headed by the Senior Divisional Officer of the Mayo Kani Division.

258 patients were operated upon — among which, 138 regained their sight.

“I’ve had eye problems for two years now. I couldn’t even see, but thanks to this exercise, I can now walk on my own,” said one of the patients.

Those who regained their sight also received medication for follow-up treatment.

“Our help does not end at the battlefield. Yes we are on the ground to preserve peace and security, but we also provide medical support to the population. We do not ask for anything in return, it’s free of charge. The population must simply collaborate by helping us with information that can help us keep them safe,” explains Colonel François Pelene.

According to Colonel Doctor Nvogo Alain, Health assistant for the coordination of BIR, ” Our patients who have been operated on both eyes will be closely monitored. We will be here to ensure that they fully regain their health.”

Many who came with sad faces returned with broad smiles after their sight was restored by the medical team.
