Dr. Seth Lartey, an ophthalmologist at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, shares how he has a long list of patients who cannot get treatment due to the unavailability of corneas for transplants-despite the willingness to donate that is shown by Ghanianas.
On March 11, 2024, HCP Cureblindness hosts the 2nd annual cornea summit in Accra bringing together major stakeholders to move proposed legislation forward. The bill, if passed, will legalize organ and tissue donations in Ghana.
For more than 26,000 Ghanaians waiting for a cornea transplant, the bill promises a chance at restored sight. Several renowned eye surgeons, government agencies, lawmakers and key healthcare NGOs support the bill.
Help us create a world in which no one is needlessly blind. Your donation of just $25 can cover one sight-restoring surgery.
