At present, there is only one health clinic with a single qualified physician for the 77,838 residents at the Buduburam Refugee Camp. Because the population does not have an eye doctor available, Unite For Sight volunteers will screen the children and adults for treatable eye conditions and coordinate their care by ophthalmologists at the newly established Christian Eye Clinic in Tema, Ghana. Unite For Sight will fund all eye care treatment for the Buduburam children and adults.
