At our mission of Ave Maria in Tombura-Yambio, South Sudan, a surgical campaign is underway since Saturday!
Dr Blanca Garcia Sandoval and a team of South Sudanese and Central African nurses and health workers, have thus far seen more than 120 patients with different eye problems. Those that are very complicated will be referred to Juba because of the lack of certain equipment at our facility at Ave Maria Mission.
