A Historic Milestone in Somaliland's Journey

There were only two ophthalmologists in a country with a population of over 3.5 million. However, with the support of FIMA Save Vision, POB Trust, Riphah University, and Manhal Eye Hospital Hargeisa, a diploma program in ophthalmology was established, followed by a Master's program. These initiatives have produced more than 26 ophthalmologists.

About Us

FIMA Save Vision is a flagship project of the Federation of Islamic Medical Associations (FIMA), a non-profit, voluntary, non-governmental, community-based organization.

FIMA is an international coalition of 25 National Islamic Medical Associations dedicated to combating disease and alleviating suffering in their respective countries. Operating on a global scale, FIMA leads, aggregates, and coordinates the efforts of its member organizations.

With consultative status at ECOSOC of the United Nations, FIMA Save Vision has also formalized a Project Collaboration Agreement with WHO-EMRO for a period of five years.

Our mission is to bring the light of vision to those living in the darkness of blindness, particularly in economically disadvantaged and underserved areas such as Nigeria, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and many other developing countries. Financial hardship and lack of access to quality eye care are major barriers for these communities. FIMA Save Vision addresses these challenges by offering free vision care services, supervised by highly qualified and globally recognized volunteer doctors and staff.

Through our efforts, we provide:

  • Free vision screenings for all ages.
  • Accessible eye care for those who cannot otherwise afford it.
  • Training programs to empower communities in vision care.
  • Education and awareness about preventable blindness.

FIMA Save Vision is dedicated to eliminating preventable blindness worldwide by delivering sustainable healthcare solutions and capacity-building initiatives, all guided by Islamic medical ethics.

FIMA Eye Camps

Report by: Dr. Intzar Hussain

We returned to Pakistan with heavy hearts, knowing that hundreds of patients in Chad continue to wait for years for their cataract surgeries.

During our mission, we successfully organized two free eye camps in Chad. A total of 1,374 cataract patients underwent surgery, and intraocular lenses were implanted. This effort has been life-changing for the patients and their families, restoring their vision and hope for a brighter future.

Our work remains incomplete, and we are committed to continuing these humanitarian efforts to serve those in need.

Training Workshops

FIMA Save Vision has conducted 35 advanced surgical training workshops, empowering ophthalmologists with specialized skills to combat preventable blindness and improve global eye care.
