In February 2024, the Çare Doctors achieved a remarkable success during a health camp held in Yumbe, Uganda. When Dr. Selim Genç and his team learned about the story of a 6-month-old baby during the camp, they immediately sprang into action. The baby was blind in both eyes due to cataracts, which prevented him from seeing the world around him.

Dr. Selim Genç’s Quick Intervention

When Dr. Selim Genç learned of this tiny baby's condition, he realized how crucial time was. The baby needed to undergo surgery immediately to restore his vision. Amid the camp's busyness, the team quickly organized for this special case, and preparations for the surgery began.

The surgery was meticulously performed by the team. Dr. Genç and his team successfully removed the cataracts from the baby's eyes and completed the surgery. This intervention allowed the baby to see the world for the first time. Now, at just 6 months old, this little baby could see his mother's face for the first time and recognize the colors around him.

A New Beginning for the Baby

After the surgery, the baby's condition rapidly improved. A new life was beginning for this little one, who would now start exploring the world with his eyes. His family experienced great joy at this hopeful transformation. With this surgery, the Çare Doctors touched not only the life of a baby but also the life of a family.

This story once again highlighted the incredible work that Dr. Selim Genç and his team accomplished at the health camp in Yumbe. The timely intervention completely changed a life and offered a future full of hope to a little baby.
