Since the beginning of 2014 FIBUSPAM has independently preformed cataract surgeries at its clinic in Riobamba. To date we have performed hundreds of eye surgeries and provided non-surgical essential treatment to thousands of patients in need. This month FIBUSPAM has taken a great stride in our history and has successfully completed a surgical caravana in Puyo, the capital of Pastaza province. FIBUSPAM’s skilled ophthalmologist, Dr. Harol Alfaro, along with the FIBUSPAM staff, partnered with local healthcare facilities in Puyo, to operate on patients with advanced cataracts, free of charge. Through this successful collaboration, FIBUSPAM prevented the blindness of the 124 patients whose cataracts were removed. FIBUSPAM is so pleased to provide this service to communities throughout Ecuador and looks forward to continued surgical caravanas throughout the year.
