Collaborate with the NGO Azul en Acción in a project that includes visual acuity checks, delivery of glasses and 400 surgeries
The Health Area of Cartagena is collaborating with the non-governmental organization Azul en Acción in the development of a donation campaign for health products, school supplies and hygiene items for the development of projects of this social entity in Senegal.
The management of the area will provide health products, such as gauze, needles, sutures, eye drops and ointments, to help in a project in October in schools and orphanages in the African country. The objective is to provide health care in ophthalmology and optics to the population, especially rural, without access to it. The forecast is to serve 3,000 people and perform 400 surgeries.
Volunteers will visit schools to do visual acuity checks and provide glasses to those who need them. They also want to give them a backpack with school supplies and give a short talk with tips on dental and hand hygiene.
Health has launched a campaign to collect school supplies and hygiene items, such as backpacks, pencils, toothpaste, soap, gel, shampoo and hydroalcoholic gel. Donations are made at the Santa Lucía Hospital Nursing Department Secretariat (Block 4, Floor 2).
