Through Prafulla, (LHSG, Kenya), the members were invited by the Lion’s Sight First Hospital to visit their hospital in Loresho on 9th Oct. 2010.
Form 10 am till 11.15, we were shown by the Administrator Mr Ndegwa around all parts of the hospital. We learned about the beautiful humanitarian work done by the hospital. They sent out their vans to the surrounding areas to bring the poor that had needed cataract surgeries. Each patient together with one family member was given accommodation and food for three days at the hospital, completely free of charge. The surgery too, was completely free. After three days, the patient and the family member were transported back to their homes, with full instructions reference removal of the bandages, and medicines.
The centre also had an ENT, Dental and Kidney Dialysis Unit and general medicine clinics. We weren’t allowed to take out pictures in the hospital, but we did take some out in the board room.
All in all it was an eye opening visit for us. We donated Sh 21000/= and some spectacle frames to this worthy cause
