Outreach

Our outreach work provides essential sight-saving and life-changing eye care to the most remote and impoverished communities in the region for free. Our outreach clinics include the Anabta Clinic, Hebron Hospital, Gaza Hospital and 2 mobile outreach vans visiting remote villages in the West Bank and Gaza. Together they serve a population of 2.5 million people.

By protecting sight, we are safeguarding the financial and social independence of people of all ages across the West Bank and Gaza. Donations help us maintain and expand vital work.

The costs for each of our clinics/hospitals are as follows:

Gaza, where we recently opened a second operating theatre, costs £1,322,000 annually. In 2022 over 38,500 patients were treated and 2,900 major operations were performed at our Gaza Hospital. We also run a mobile outreach programme in Gaza.

Hebron Hospital costs £681,000. In 2022 we saw over 14,000 patients and performed over 550 surgeries at our Hebron hospital.

In 2022 we treated almost 16,000 outpatients and performed 22 major operations at our Anabta Clinic which costs £531,000 to run annually.

The West Bank Mobile Outreach Programme includes 2 vans (5 days and 4 days) and costs £199,000. Our outreach services reached over 5,000 patients via our Mobile Outreach Programme.
