Africa Eye Foundation establishes the Magrabi ICO Cameroon Eye Institute
The International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO), The Al Noor – Magrabi Foundation, a non-profit foundation organized in Egypt, and the That Every Life May Count (French language: Afin Que Chaque Vie Compte) Foundation, a non-profit foundation organized in Switzerland have come come together, to establish the Africa Eye Foundation. The Magrabi ICO Cameroon Eye Institute in Yaounde, Cameroon, is the first project of the Africa Eye Foundation.
The Mission of the Eye Institute is to train ophthalmologists and staff in Cameroon and French-Speaking Central West Africa to become the next generation of leaders and to provide high quality eye care services with subspecialties (currently unavailable in Central Africa) and outreach programs, minimizing the need to send patients abroad.
Dr Akef El-Maghraby, ICO’s Vice President and a principal donor, presented the following overview of the Magrabi ICO Cameroon Eye Institute.
The aim of this blog is to keep you updated on progress on the implementation of the Magrabi ICO Cameroon Eye Institute.

je pense que c’une revolution dans le monde médical plus présiment dans ledomaine de l’ophtalmologie. nous souffrons enormement . que Dieu vous benisse
c’est un grand honneur pour le Cameroun et l’Afrique centrale de recevoir un si grang projet. mon souhait est les camerounais et les africains qui seront soignés puissent rendre un temoignage digne du projet qui leur a été offert par l’AEF à travers la Cameroon eye institute. mes voeux les meilleiurs pour l’équipe dirigeante de MICEI longue vie au Dr AkEF EL MAGHRABY qui dans son elan de coeur a choisi le cameroun pour implanter le premier projet de l’AFRICA EYE FOUNDATION.
we have been praying to God Almighty for this to assist the Cameroonians who are unable to get quality eye health services at an affordable price, many have gone blind due to lack of financial aids. We believe this will go a long way to meet the demands of many.
waow I love the initiative I can’t wait for it to be functional am in urgent need of their sevices my eyes hurt like crazy…God bless the African eye foundation
very interesting work . Go forward
Waoh! So this is reality. May God bless all the people that made this big project a success. Finally our eye patients will enjoy the best eye care without going out of the country. Thanks be to God.
I am glad that development of this magnitude is coming to my home. Well i would like to find out if the facility is operational. My mom has been battling diabetes for years and her vision has been greatly affected. She has been recommended surgery but it is as it is I am skeptical as to the kind of eye care she might get and where. Landing on this kind of gave me some hope. Is this institute operational and what will it take to get her the care she so badly needs?
