The Omusati Eye Surgical Campaign by the Ministry of Health and Social Services, led by ophthalmologist Helena Ndume, restored sight to 360 elderly at Oshikuku.

Eye sight is a tool used for functioning and thriving in daily activities and for achieving personal fulfilment.

Some of the patients who underwent eye surgery in Grootfontein expressed joy and gratitude towards the team of doctors and nurses who assisted them, describing them as heaven-sent.
