Ophthalmosurgeons of the Ufa Eye Research Institute will operate on patients from the district hospitals of Bashkortostan for free. The clinic has started a new program of cataract surgical treatment. Now residents of remote areas of the Republic do not need to travel long distances and get to Ufa for the operation.
Doctors carefully check the condition of the eye lens with the help of the expensive equipment brought from Ufa. Patients feel well after the surgery, There are no complaints, patients are treated with respect. Many of them do not even believe that they will be at home by the evening.
Previously to get to such an operation residents of the districts had to get to Ufa, undergo medical tests, wait for the results, and then their turn for the procedure. Doctors note that cataract is mainly a disease of the elderly. It is difficult for them to travel long distance. Now thanks to the program organized by the Ufa Eye Research Institute they do not need to go anywhere. The best surgeons came to the patients themselves.
Olga Orenburkina, ophthalmologist of the Ufa Eye Research Institute: "This project covers almost the entire territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The help provided to patients is carried out by the Institute absolutely free. Today 10 operations of 28 planned have already been done, and during the week we are going to perform 140 operations»
The doctors from Ufa have accepted patients in Maloyazovskaya, Belebey, Meleuz Central Hospitals and the Third Hospital of Sterlitamak. Today they are in Ishimbai.
Today hundreds of people need urgent cataract treatment. Free operations will be conducted until April. The doctors plan to visit hospitals in Yanaul, Tuymazy, Beloretsk, Uchaly and Sibai.
