CANCER THAT ORIGINATES FROM THE CONJUCTIVA
The patient was seen at
Friends Church Sabatia Eye Hospital ( http://www.sabatiaeyehospital.org )
Due to the ongoing poor accessibility, non affordability level of the patient in Kenya, the patient was not able to seek eye care service. This being a cancerous case it has now blown up so that he can only be cared for.
The patient we came across him during one of our outreach services because he could not come to the hospital. he stays around 200 km from Sabatia.
It only through the strength of financial assistance of Sabatia eye hospital by OUD in Afrika (the Poor Patient Fund) that we managed to go close to this patient.
Many in such bad shapes are there in the community and we are continuing accessing them through such programmes with the help of OUD in Afrika.
