Fatma Auntie (68) lives in Taiz, Yemen. For 7 years, he had almost no vision due to cataract disease. He could not even recognize the faces of his grandchildren.
Aunt Fatma underwent a free cataract surgery during the vision screening organized as part of the health program of UMDE.
When the post-operative bandages were removed, Aunt Fatma's first words were God bless you, I see my grandchildren!.
UMDE has performed 3,200 cataract surgeries to date. The cost of a glaucoma surgery is only 500 TL.
