Optometrist Dr. Marie-France Duguay and optician Caroline Anderson flew to Senegal on November 3. The previous mission took place in January 2023 when two residents in community optometry from the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al School of Optometry provided coaching, training and technical follow-up. Despite the short duration of their stay, our volunteers were able to make a difference within the staff of the Saint-Louis Program for the Prevention and Fight against Blindness (PPFB).<\/p>\n

Mission background and objectives<\/u> :<\/h4>\n

The Saint-Louis Program for the Prevention and Fight against Blindness (PPFB) in Senegal began in January 2019 and has since been funded by the Minist\u00e8re des Relations internationales et de la Francophonie<\/em> of Quebec (MRIF). This PPFB is implemented in collaboration with and in support of the Association Saint-Louisienne pour la Vue<\/em> (ASV) and aims to support the Saint-Louis community ophthalmology center designed to offer accessible eye examinations and ophthalmological consultations.<\/p>\n

As a follow-up to the mission carried out in January 2023, Dr. Marie-France Duguay and Ms. Caroline Anderson were mandated to support the team at the Saint-Louis community ophthalmology center in the technical implementation of the PPFB. In addition to offering advice and support in their day-to-day screening work (in clinics and during mobile clinics), their mission was to help with the installation and appropriate use of the equipment provided. Dr. Duguay and Ms. Anderson shared their findings and recommendations for the team and the partner in order to improve program sustainability.<\/p>\n

Achievements in the field<\/u> :<\/h4>\n

As soon as they arrived in the country, our two volunteers received a warm welcome from our partners and friends at ASV. Having received two volunteers a few months earlier, they were extremely motivated to continue their training with Dr. Duguay and Ms. Anderson.<\/p>\n

Our two trainers had a sizeable mandate, since they had to complete their mission in less than seven days in the field in Saint-Louis, if we subtract the two days of travel to and from the site. It was a challenge they met brilliantly, thanks to their professionalism, experience, preparation and resourcefulness.\u00a0 “We’d like to thank all the Quebec trainers who came to the community center before us, and who laid a solid theoretical foundation for continuity. It is on the basis of their clinical data and recommendations that we have established our seven-day continuing education course,” they say.<\/p>\n

They brought a number of donations to the ASV from IRIS Mundial from Canada, including a visiometer, a new autorefractometer and several frames. They took the opportunity to provide practical and theoretical training on the equipment provided, both in optics and optometry, enabling certain tools to be updated and adapted to the reality of our partners in the field.<\/p>\n

One of the objectives of IRIS Mundial and its partners is to facilitate access to vision care for all, at social rates. For this reason, mobile clinics are an important component of the program, enabling us to reach out to people in remote communities and nearby schools. As a result, Marie-France and Caroline had the opportunity to take part in two mobile clinics during their mission with ASV team members. They travelled over 70 km from Saint-Louis to Kassak Nord, where over 80 patients were waiting for them to receive primary eye care. Of these patients, 32 were referred to the center for a thorough examination and 10 were diagnosed with cataracts. During their mobile clinic at Djougop elementary school, 55 children were examined and 12 children were referred to the community eye center. “I was surprised by the number of children’s visual health pathologies present in the region. Out of 55 children examined during our school clinic, 3 suffered from visual disabilities (2 cases of nystagmus and 1 case of oculocutaneous albinism). ASV is already very active in its screening activities, and I’m very happy to see that the clinic is autonomous in this respect”, testified Dr. Duguay, confirming the needs in the field and the importance of the program!<\/p>\n

After 10 days of intensive work, our two volunteers returned to Canada with their heads full of memories and a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. “We had a very receptive and motivated team. It’s inspiring for trainers,” they conclude.<\/p>\n

Thank you to our trainers and partners in Senegal for your invaluable collaboration and participation.<\/p>\n
