Mercy Ships is excited about the partnership with Marvin United Methodist Church and their vision for the MercyVision program.
The primary focus of the MercyVision program is educating medical professionals to increase access to eye care.
Our goal is to reduce the prevalence of blindness/low vision due to cataract and pterygium, and to build the capacity of the Togolese eye care system to achieve 13% of the Vision 2020 goal of 15,000 cataract operations per year.
In addition, all our surgical and curative programs aim to improve quality of life and ability to be productive (family and society).
Behind every program there is a dedicated and committed team whose desire it is to serve.
