Duncan's Passion for Eye Health

June 2017

Dr. Duncan Chimbila

Final­ly, I could pur­sue a career where I could live out my pas­sion to mobilise peo­ple to greater health, and work specif­i­cal­ly with eye health

As an OCO, Duncan screens, diagnoses and coordinates transport and appointments for patients, covering all aspects of treatment. He carries out every step, from examining a patient’s visual acuity upon meeting him or her to arranging his or her admittance into the hospital post-surgery.

Thanks to your support, Duncan has been able to implement a strict follow-up protocol to ensure patients recover in full: an initial follow-up at the hospital, followed by several within a six-month period at patients’ homes and local clinics. He always takes care to explain the proper use of antibiotics and instructions for cleanings to ensure a patient’s full recovery according to his prognosis.

I love my role, as I inter­act all day with patients, and they are so appre­cia­tive when you play a role in giv­ing them sight. [It] is extreme­ly rewarding.

In the Fight Against Avoidable Blindness, every minute matters. Make this one count by giving the gift of sight today.
