Assessment Room Part 4
A blind man came into the assessment room. After an examination we found out that he has an infection in his eyes, and he has cataracts. But the doctors can remove the cataracts and cure the infection. (I'm so grateful that he would be able to see again, it was so sad to watch him, because he had no idea where he was or what was going on, but his wife was so caring and loving towards him.)
There was a mother and daughter, the daughter needed the surgery for cataracts, but it was complicated in her case and they needed state-of-the-art equipment to do the operation, which they did not have here in Mtwara. They would need to take the girl to Dar Es Salaam, and then they both cried because they just couldn't go there. It had been a big thing for them to come to Mtwara, but to go to the big city was just too overwhelming - and the cost would be too much as well.
