Sebha Medical Centre Performs Over 60 Eye Surgeries

The Al-Noor campaign team, specialising in ophthalmology and eye surgery at the Libyan Sebha Medical Centre, successfully performed over 60 surgical procedures on Friday. The surgeries varied from cataract removal, glaucoma treatment, retinal procedures, to surgeries for strabismus (cross-eye condition).

It is noteworthy that many more specialised retinal surgeries, known for their precision, are planned. These surgeries target a group of patients, each of whom has been thoroughly evaluated to determine the necessity and suitability of the procedure.

This initiative follows directives from Osman Abdel Jalil, the Libyan Minister of Health, and is supported by Prime Minister, Osama Hammad and the Office of the House of Representatives (HoR). It is part of a broader program aimed at localizing treatment within the country, reducing the need for citizens to seek medical care abroad.

The success of this surgical campaign at the Sebha Medical Centre marks a significant milestone in the Libyan healthcare system’s efforts to provide advanced medical services locally. The initiative is a testament to the growing capabilities of Libyan medical facilities and professionals in handling complex medical procedures.

Last month, a dedicated Egyptian medical team has recently concluded a life-saving mission at the Benghazi Medical Centre, Libya. Over a span of 10 days, they successfully performed 25 open-heart surgeries on children, showcasing exceptional skill and medical expertise.

Naema Goba, the Head of the pediatric department at Benghazi Medical Centre, praised the team’s proficiency. She noted that all the children who underwent surgery are now in good health. This achievement reflects the high level of care, and precision the visiting team brought to these complex procedures.

Goba added that the center would resume open-heart surgeries for children in the next two weeks, targeting around 40 more patients. This ongoing effort underlines the center’s commitment to providing critical cardiac care for children in need.

In recognition of their remarkable service, the Centre hosted a ceremony honouring the Egyptian team. The event culminated in the presentation of commemorative shields.

This collaboration between Libyan and Egyptian medical professionals not only strengthens international medical ties, but also brings hope and life-saving treatments to many children and families. The success of this mission sets a precedent for future international medical collaborations, and emphasises the importance of skilled medical interventions in pediatric cardiac care.
