From 1966 to 2010 - a success story
When cbm supported it's first cataract surgery, in 1966 in Afghanistan, nobody knew how much of a success story this would become. With this simple operation, the history of the organisation would be written. This year we will celebrate a special anniversary - the 10 millionth cbm cataract operation will be performed!
Read about the rich history of cataract operations supported by cbm with real life stories from thelast four decades!
Life changing, yet quick and relatively inexpensive!
A cataract operation costs on $35 ($230 for children with general anaesthesia).
