Cataract surgeries for underserved in pakistan

Project Mission:

The Free Eye Camp, Parachinar was a three-day medical intervention organized from 26th to 28th of September 2025 at District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ), Parachinar, KPK. The camp aimed to provide free cataract surgeries and eye consultations to underprivileged patients who lacked access to specialist care.

Thanks to the generous support of the Mohsin & Fauzia Jaffer Foundation (MFJ), this initiative successfully provided 200 free cataract surgeries and 830 free eye consultations to underprivileged patients. A team of eight medical professionals, led by Dr. Tanveer Abbas, performed the surgeries using modern Phaco techniques. This initiative marked the first instance of advanced Phaco surgeries being performed in Parachinar, successfully restoring sight and independence to hundreds of individuals. In total, 830 people benefited, many of whom were widows and low-income laborers.

Free Eye Camp Project – Parachinar & Hangu 2026

The Free Eye Camp project was a targeted medical intervention implemented by WF-AID at District Headquarters Hospital (DHQ), Parachinar, and Al-Zahra Hospital, Hangu, between 21 December 2025 and 11 January 2026, building on the successful completion of earlier cataract surgery interventions in Parachinar. The strong response to previous camps highlighted a continued need for accessible eye care, leading to the expansion of services during this phase. Thanks to the generous support of the Mohsin & Fauzia Jaffer Foundation (MFJ), this initiative reached a total of 1,309 patients. Out of these, 350 patients underwent free cataract surgery using modern phaco techniques, including 325 surgeries in Parachinar and 25 in
Hangu, while 830 patients received essential medicines following OPD eye consultations. Services were delivered by an experienced eight-
member medical team. The project contributed to improved vision and better daily functioning for vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly, widows, and low-income earners.
