The ophthalmology hospital of the Bouamatou Foundation, entirely dedicated to needy populations and not requesting any financial compensation for its services, functions as a referral center. It receives patients who are sent to it by all health structures.
Another feature of this hospital is that it is fully computerized and operates as a network.
The services provided by the ophthalmology hospital of the Bouamatou Foundation are diverse and cover all types of medical and surgical services in ophthalmology. All modern diagnostic and therapeutic ophthalmology equipment is available at the ophthalmology hospital: the YAG laser for posterior capsulotomy in secondary cataracts and iridectomy, the ARGON laser for retinal photocoagulation, the automatic perimeter of the HUMPHREY type for automated visual field testing, a classic GOLDMANN perimeter for kinetic visual field testing, an ultrasound machine for A and B scans and for calculating the power of the implant in cataract surgery, an angiograph, as well as an automatic tonometer and refractometer.
A laboratory and a multipurpose radiology department are present in our facility so that patients do not have to leave the hospital to undergo sometimes costly additional examinations.
The inpatient service has about twenty beds available to patients, who also have access to a kitchen that provides them with all meals free of charge throughout their hospital stay.
The library will receive different specialized magazines and periodicals and will allow for bibliographic research that will serve as a training center.
