Baydha: Next week, the Health Care Association for Affected Communities will launch the 64th and 65th free ophthalmology and eye surgery camps in Baydha City and Rada'a District, Baydha Governorate. These efforts are in coordination with the Ministry of Health and Environment and are funded by the General Authority for Zakat.
According to Yemen News Agency, the two camps will run for six days each in cooperation with the governorate's health office, Al-Thawra Hospital in Baydha, and Rada'a General Hospital. The camps aim to provide free examinations and surgeries for cataracts, pterygium removal, and sebaceous cysts from the eyelids.
Hassan Tamah, head of the Zakat Authority's health committee, explained that the camps are designed to assist the needy, meet their medical needs, and promote social solidarity and charity for the most vulnerable groups.
Dr. Nashwan Al-Attab, president of the Health Care Association, stated that the first two days of the camp, held at Al-Thawra Hospital in Baydha from May 17 to 22, will focus on examinations and screenings. They will identify cases requiring surgical intervention and subject them to pre-operative tests.
Similar procedures will be implemented at the second camp, scheduled for May 19 to 24 at Rada'a General Hospital. Dr. Al-Attab expressed appreciation for the support and funding provided by the General Authority for Zakat and Charity, which aim to alleviate the suffering of citizens given the current circumstances in the country.
He added that these camps are part of a series of initiatives organized by the association as part of its solidarity projects, reflecting the compassionate spirit of Islam and its commitment to caring for the poor and engaging in charitable deeds.
