The New Takeo Eye Hospital

For over 13 years, CBM Australia has been instrumental in the development of the Takeo Eye Hospital in Cambodia.

In April, John Jeffries was in the presence of royalty when he represented CBM Australia at the opening of the newly developed hospital.

The Takeo Eye Hospital has been a key training and service program in ophthalmic and primary eye-care and in partnership with CBM, has been changing lives and restoring sight for thousands.

Cataract blindness in Cambodia is a big problem and accounts for 80% of blindness in women and 60% of blindness in men.

New wards have been built in the re-development of Takeo Eye Hospital, allowing more patients to be treated and receive the miracle of sight.

Since 1997, CBM’s involvement with Takeo Eye Hospital has seen some outstanding results:

211,436	18,489	38,491
Consultations	Cataract surgeries	TOTAL Surgeries
71	21
Eye nurses trained	Eye doctors trained
