On a significant day in Al Rayyaz Hospital’s journey toward enhanced ophthalmic care, the One Ummah Foundation (OUF) proudly inaugurated the Swiss Phaco Oertli Machine, marking a new chapter in eye surgeries and cataract treatment. This state-of-the-art technology was donated as part of OUF’s ongoing mission to strengthen healthcare systems in underprivileged communities.

The event was attended by the hospital’s medical staff, community representatives, and members of OUF. The inauguration ceremony was a moment of pride, underscoring how collective efforts between charitable organizations and medical institutions can lead to impactful, long-term change.

The Swiss Phaco Oertli Machine is globally recognized for its precision and safety in cataract removal procedures. By using ultrasonic technology, it emulsifies and removes the cloudy lens with high accuracy, significantly improving recovery time and patient outcomes. With this advanced surgical tool now available at Al Rayyaz, patients in the area will no longer need to travel far for such specialized treatment.

Dr. Imran, a senior ophthalmologist at Al Rayyaz, expressed his gratitude during the ceremony. “This machine is a breakthrough for us. Cataract patients, especially the elderly, can now receive high-quality surgeries close to home. It will reduce patient load at major urban hospitals and help us serve our community better.”

The donation reflects OUF’s holistic approach to social development—addressing healthcare not just through temporary relief but by building sustainable medical infrastructure. With Al Rayyaz already operating as a reliable center for eye care, the inclusion of the Oertli machine now positions it to become a center of excellence for cataract surgery in the region.

OUF’s representatives emphasized that this is just one part of their broader vision. “Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. With this donation, we aim to empower hospitals like Al Rayyaz to offer services on par with international standards, even in semi-urban or rural settings,” said a spokesperson for OUF.

As the machine begins its operations, Al Rayyaz Hospital expects to conduct a greater number of safe, effective cataract surgeries every month. The goal is not only to restore vision but also to improve the overall quality of life for patients, especially the elderly, who have limited mobility and access.

This generous donation once again highlights One Ummah Foundation’s unwavering commitment to bettering lives through strategic and impactful contributions. From free medical camps to state-of-the-art equipment, OUF continues to serve communities with compassion, care, and vision.
