Dr. Selim Genç, Çare Doctors Health Camp - February 2024
We are in a narrow hospital corridor in Yumbe, Uganda. Our volunteer doctor from Istanbul, Associate Professor Dr. Selim Genç, is describing the challenging conditions they faced and the difficulties they encountered here:
“If we hadn’t come here, it would not have been possible for that child to receive treatment. Unfortunately, there is no team here capable of providing the necessary care. He had to live with cataracts until the age of 13, and there was no opportunity for surgery. After the surgery, the child turned to us and said, 'You’ve opened one of my eyes; please don’t leave without opening the other!' These words made me realize once again how critical our mission is.”
