COLLABORATIVE MODEL
Eye camp, February 2005, prior to Inauguration of Eye Hospital at
al Genaina
OR in action, Eye Camp at al Genaina Eye Hospital, January 2007
FIMA trained a Sudanese newly graduated
ophthalmologist delegated by MOH in two separate
training events on Oculoplasty and Keratoplasty at
Khartoum-Sudan, while imparted a comprehensive
three weeks training in Pakistan.
Paramedics were given on-job training by the
visiting eye surgeons. WHO contributed salaries of
the Sudanese full-time ophthalmologist for the first
year, and also contributed some consumables.
During the period of five years (2006 to 2011) the
Hospital has extended care to 50,000 people, on outpatient
basis, and performed cataract surgeries on
5,040 patients, some of them came all the way from
neighboring Chad (Table 2).
3. Impact on CSR
Al-Genaina-Darfur West had virtually zero CSR
prior to the launch of FIMA initiative in 2005,
while that of Sudan on the whole was 714 as of
2004. 3
Darfur West with zero CSR in 2005, has been able
to achieve a mean CSR (2006 – June 2011) of 820
per million/year.
This was the output with a single ophthalmologist
stationed there. Recently another ophthalmologist
has joined the hospital which is expected to
increase CSR to more than 1500/million/year.
