This achievement is the result of two years of dedication, planning, and collaboration. That vision has now come to life,the first minimally invasive urological surgeries in Bansang General Hospital, including cystoscopies and TURP procedures, have been successfully performed.
This is more than just a medical mission. It is a story of partnership, compassion, and hope bringing advanced care closer to those who need it most.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the Ärzte für Afrika team, our local healthcare workers, and everyone who contributed to making this moment possible.

Glaucoma Awareness Month

Glaucoma is silently increasing in our communities and many people don’t even know they have it.
It is called the “silent thief of sight” because it can damage your vision without early warning signs. If not detected early, it can lead to permanent blindness.

Regular eye check-ups can save your sight.
People above 40 years, those with family history, diabetes, or high blood pressure are at higher risk.
Let’s protect our vision. Encourage your family and loved ones to get their eyes checked today.
Early detection saves sight.
