In two eye care outreaches in the suburbs of Omdurman and Khartoum at the end of April 2012 patients were seen of whom 140 were prescribed medicines, 50 received glasses, and 55 were recommended for operations, most of which have since been performed. Many thanks to Dr Nabila and her colleagues for their work for the displaced needing eye care in the Khartoum area.
