Eye Hospital Holds Steady in Blindness Rich Western Sudan Belt
In Kano Nigeria the Sudan Interior Mission’s Eve Hospital treats hundreds daily as conflict and famine press the region. The 1943 facility serves the Western Sudan belt where about 10 percent are blind or near blind, with thousands more affected by malnutrition and sanitation. Escalating violence and displacement have emptied wards and driven staff eastward, while patients line up for care amid a harsh, unsettled landscape.
