Residents of Mbeya Region and neighboring areas will benefit from a specialized ophthalmology camp organized by Mbeya Regional Referral Hospital in collaboration with Maryprisca Mahundi, Member of Parliament for Special Seats and Deputy Minister for Information, Communication, and Information Technology.
Scheduled from June 30 to July 4, 2025, the camp will bring a team of distinguished eye specialists from Germany to provide advanced eye care services alongside local medical professionals, all free of charge at the hospital commonly referred to as “Mkoani.”

Additionally, the program will deliver expert consultations on eye health management and preventive care strategies.
Authorities encourage early patient arrival, starting daily at 8:00 a.m., to ensure efficient service delivery amid high demand.
