Impfondo Eye Centre
The norlh of Congo had never had an eye centre.
This was the reason that Joyce and Henri
Samoutou uprooted their family s life in the UK in
April 2012 to pioneer the firsl and only non-profit
eye centre in the north of Congo. The eye centre is
based in Pioneer Christian Hospital in Impfondo,
the capital of the Likouala Region. This general
hospital founded in 2006 is developing rapidly. It
has 32 buildings in a 17-acre site. It has grown to
75 beds in recent years. New Sight enjoys good
relationships with the government, the Ministry of
Health, as well as the local authorities and
communities. New Sight has collaborated
frequenlly with other non-profit organisalions such
as United Nations High Commissioner of
Refugees and Médecins d'Afrique, who frequently
refer Iheir patients for eye Irealment.
New Sight gave the Impfondo eye centre with all
the equipment and trained staff as a gift to Pioneer Christian Hospital in
Augusl 2017. The nurses who were trained by New Sighl can now handle
emergency, consultation, inpatient. anaesthetics. and minor surgery. Henri
has been going back regularly about every 3 10 4 months to perform major
surgery prior to the pandemic. He has not been able to go back after his
March 2020 visit due to COVID-19 restrictions but hopes to do so soon.

Ouesso Eye Hospital
Following the successful eslablishment of the Impfondo eye centre, New
Sight was invited by local authorities to build a new eye hospital in
Ouesso. The strategic localion of Ouesso can make eye care accessible
for the entire eounlry of Congo. In November 2016, the purchase of the 6-
hectare piece of land in Ouesso was compleled, with one of the six
hectares being a donation from the mayorfs office in Ouesso. Aleam of
topographic surveyors from Brazzaville completed land studies.
This future eye hospital is in a strategic location that can reach out to the
whole of Congo. and perhaps even to neighbouring countries such as
Cameroon and Central African Republic.

3. Optical shop and Workshop
4. Pharmacy
5. Surgical Unit
6. Core Infrastructure (electricity and water supply, incineration facility)
Subsequent extensions may include training facilities and staff & visitor quarters.
Our Vision
In line with the United Nations. Sustainable Development Goals and the World Health
Organisation's (WHO) inclusion of eye care as an integral part of Universal Health Coverage
(UHC), New Sight's Vision is..
A world
where nobody is needlessly visually impaired
where those with unavoidable visual loss can achieve
Iheir full potential
where there is universal access to comprehensive eye
care services
The WHO World Report on Vision, 1 published in October
2019. states that more than 2.2 billion people have a vision
impairment or blindness, of whom at least I billion people
do nol have access to the
services they need. Poor
vision and eye health needs
are expected lo increase
substantially in the coming decades, with the needlessly
number of people living with blindness
projected to triple by 2050. The impact of
vision loss cuts across many of the United
Nations, Sustainable Developmenl
Goals. Improving eye health helps to reduce
poverly (Goal 1) and helps to deliver on quality inclusive education, gender
equality and decent work and economic growth (Goals 4. 5 and 8).
According to the WHO, worldwide, 4 in 5 people who are blind or severely
"A world where
nobody is

Karls Faith Samoutou
visually
impaired"
-NEWSIGHT'S VISION
ANNUAL REPORT 2021

NEW SIGHT EYE CARE
Chatity Commission Registration Number.. 1144893
visually impaired are blind from avoidable causes. This means that we can prevent or treat their
blindness. New Sight follows the technical guidance provided by the International Agency for the
Prevenlion of Blindness in collaboration wilh the WHO to plan, budget and purchase the
equipment and consumables needed. The bulk of our charity's surgery is to remove cataracts.
Patients blind from cataracts can see again the day after this on&off operation. When sight is
restored, lives are transformed, not just for the palients, but also for their families and even the
wider communities.
There have been several well-documenled studies that proved calaract surgery to be one of the
top operations with the most measurable improvement in quality of life,2 3 and supported the
argument that it offers economic benefit to relieve poverty. 4 5 6
In addition to cataract surgery, we provide vision tests and aids (e.g. glasses), prevention and
treatment of eye diseases and systemic illness involving the eye (e.g. diabetes and hypertension),
an 'accident and emergency. service, as well as other surgeries {e.g. for glaucoma and
pterygium). Free adminislration of Vitamin A supplements and River Blindness treatment are also
offered. For those who are assessed to be genuinely unable to afford paying for our very low-cost
non-profit services, their costs are covered by New Sight's charitable poverty fund.
A year full of challenges and opportunities
The COVID-19 pandemic shifted New Sight's focus and way of life for much of 2020-21. The team
urgently worked to support the community in Congo against the virus by promoting precautions
and health education, assisling local health departments and seeking io provide sanitising or
medical supplies to the neediest. New Sight set up a special fund set apart for COVID-19 Relief in
Congo. The Ouesso Interim Eye Centre {IEC) continued lo treat emergency cases as well as
supporting long-term patients through the March to May lockdown. It reopened lo receive in-
person patienls from May 2020.
For the year ended 31 March 2021, some key progress and activities included..
New Sight's Ouesso IEC provided 1.354 consultalions. or close to 3.000 since its establishment
in July 2019.
While we are the in process of constructing our new hospital, we have provided consultations
from our Ouesso IEC, originally located in the Department of Health's health centre from July
2019 to October 2020, and relocated to new facilities since November 2020.
New Sight has completed its first course on 'lntroduction to Health Care Fundamentals,, and
completed its first theory component of the training program for students selected from the
local community.
We have an incredible core team of volunteers and pro-bono workers along with 17 full-time
and 2 part-time staff.

New Sighl has succeeded in raising more than
HK$6.7 million (USD 0.86 million / GBP 0.63

operations in Congo and to best serve our
goal of eliminating avoidable blindness.
Three key goals for 202012021: 1. To provide

l. Provide accessible & comprehensive
eye services
New Sight worked hard to establish and equip the new Ouesso Interim Eye
Centre, support the Impfondo Eye Centre through mentoring and
consultalion, and continued to pursue the most pragmatic approach to
hospital construction in Ouesso.
Ouesso Interim Eye Centre
Since we opened our Interim Eye Centre (IEC) in Ouesso in July 2019, we
have been blessed to be able to use rooms within a local health
centre, offered free to us by ihe Minisler of Health. However, in
November 2020 the government needed the building back and we
were requested to move out. We relocated successfully to a newly built
compound that month and our services and activities have transitioned
smoothly without any interruptions. Since then, the IEC has settled well in
the new location and we have promoted the move in the community with
flyers and road signs.
Congo was in complete lockdown from 31 March until 15 May
2020. During this time, Ihe IEC was limited lo treating emergency cases
and supporting long-lerm patients only. The IEC reopened on
22 May, initially for 3 days per week and now 4 days per week, with
precaulionary measures put in place to keep staff and patients safe from
COVID-19. Patient numbers were understandably low for April and May.
However, Ihey increased in June when the IEC reopened part-time as the

country eased certain restriclions while it continued to fight COVID. The majority of patients
were seen for follow-up care as we prioritised continuing care for our current patients as well as
treating emergencies. Henri and Joyce also visited existing patients to distribule necessary
medication.
The IEC has continued to thrive at the centrally
located health centre space and at the newer
and bigger facility from November 2020. By the
end of March 2021, the IEC has provided a total
of 3,000 consultations. We anticipate monthly
patient numbers will return to our pr*COVID-19
level of around 200. As expected, the number of
new and follow-up appointments has evened
out, with close to half of appointments being
new patients. This also reflects Ihe fact that Ihe
team is getting a good response from people
keeping their follow-up appointments,
allowing treatment to be completed. So far,
the most common eye conditions seen at the
IEC have been eye infections, need for glasses,
glaucoma, presbyopia, cataracts and
allergic conjunctivitis.

Samoutou.
Impfondo Eye Centre
The eye centre in Impfondo continues to thrive and remains self-sufficient.
Henri relurned to Impfondo for anoiher two-week surgical campaign in
March 2020. Surgeries and problem cases awaited him, and he was able
to operate on patients, helping to restore sight and bring new life to them
and their families. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Henri was not able to
undertake more surgical campaigns since then. bul has been advising
the eye centre remotely.
Construction Progress on Ouesso Eye Hospital
On the ground. hospital construction work was placed on hold while
everyone focused on the COVID crisis and complied with the related
restriclions. With the aim of moving forward as soon as possible, we
began working with a team of pro-bono American engineers, experienced
in designing and building hospitals in other African countries, to optimise
the design as well as minimise costs.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021

NEW SIGHT EYE CARE
Chatity Commission Registration Number.. 1144893
Alongside this, we have been exploring more Options to use local expertise. We hope that this will
make maintenance more cost effective and easier to access, leading to better sustainability for
the building.
We are excited by the progress being made and hope to see construction begin in the first half
of 2021.
2. Empower the local community
With a view that education and training provide the most direct route to empowering the local
community, New Sighi has established a training school and is looking to conduct health
education outreach when the situation with COVID allows. We will continue to help both the local
health services and community to eope with the challenging situation.
Training School Ipaid for by generous donors of New Sight)
The training school based at the IEC had to
be temporarily closed from 18 March 2020
due lo government regulations regarding the
COVID-19 pandemic. Home learning packs
were provided for each student but their
ability to study at home was limited and most
did not have phone or Internet access. The
course restarted in June using a classroom
lenl by the Calholic school which was large
enough lo enable social distancing. We safely
reopened the Iraining school after lockdown.
In October we were informed that the rooms
in the local clinic which housed the IEC would
be needed for some services from the
government hospital, which was being
demolished. So the search was on lo find new
facilities. We were delighted to be able to rent
a bigger building which could accommodate both Ihe training school and
the eye centre, and has the benefit of running water which we did not have
at the previous site. We made and boughl new furniture, and added
security bars. The students and staff worked hard to clean the old and new
sites. The IEC moved across in November and everyone has settled in well
to the new facilities.

classroom-based theory and practical teaching in the IEC. As well as nursing. the course covered
spiritual development and general skills including IT and administration. We were excited to
see their skills, knowledge and confidence grow. The students sat their final exams and marked
the completion of the course through a celebratory lunch and graduation ceremony held in
March 2021.
COVID-19 Relief
The New Sight team has worked to empower the community with information about preventing
the spread of COVID-19 and has supported and advised the local health authorities in
their preparation.
As the threat of COVID-19 crept closer to Congo's borders, the New Sight team moved into action
to do what they could to help the community to prepare and respond to a potential epidemic.
Knowing the limits of the Congolese healthcare system, Ihe team focussed on helping people to
prevent the spread of the virus to keep themselves and others safe.
Over 12,000 leaflets and posters were produced to educate people about the virus and how it
spreads, and about how to wear face masks correctly.
The New Sight students wrote and produced a song called
"Congo United vs COVID-l 9~ in French and Lingala aimed at
educating local people on how to protect themselves and
avoid spreading the virus. This song was played on
local radio as well as radio and TV stations
across Congo. It was also made available online.
Our design for hand-washing stations was used
by the local community.
The team adopted a cloth face mask design
from Hong Kong and added localised
instructions which could be manufactured from
African fabric by the local tailors.

Seminars were given to local leaders and radio interviews were aired to educate about
COVID-19.
The eye centre team contacted patients to rearrange follow up appointments and dispense
repeat medication just before lockdown began.
A COVID-19 Relief Fund was established to raise funds specifically to help with the response to
the pandemic in Congo. Thanks to the amazing generosity of our supporters, we have been able
to provide important relief supplies to the community. HKD 638.000 (GBP 6380) was raised, and
part of the funds was used to purchase the following items for the first shipmenl from Hong Kong
to Ouesso..
100 thermometers
30 oxygen pulse oximeters
Batteries for the equipment
20,000 copies of instruction on proper
mask wearing
i/
These were shipped to Congo along with the
following donated items..
20,000 reusable face masks

In addition, the following were purchased from
local traders and donated lo the community
via the Préfet {Prefect, or Governor) and the
Commission against COVID-19-
5.000 fabric masks were made locally in Ouesso and donated to all the
students sitting exams and market traders in Ouesso.

3. Ensure sustainability by partnering with local
and international partners
New Sight continued lo strengthen relationships with local aulhorities, and work towards best
practice communications, fundraising, team structure and operational processes.
Engagement with ￿Cal Authorities
New Sight continues to operate under a Protocole d'accord signed with the Ministry of Health of
Republic of Congo which covers performance as a health institution and provides for tax
exemptions, visas and work permits.
Commission against COVlD-19
When the COVID-19 outbreak hit Congo, we were in a unique position to help with medical
expertise and provide supplies. Joyce was invited by the Préfet and the Director of Health lo join
the committee leading the response in the La Sangha region. Through our amazing and generous
supporters, we managed to raise HKD 638,000 (GBP 6,380) in our COVID-19 appeal which
enabled us to provide cloth masks, soap, disinfectant, buckets, and toilet paper for the
community- We also received a generous in-kind donation of 20.000 reusable masks, making the
givings we received to be worth over HKDI million.
We know that there are so many needs in the Republic of Congo and we are privileged to be able
to play a part. The more we get to know the community, the more we can see that establishing
the New Sight Eye Hospital will bring so much hope and tangible help here.
Ouesso Pioneer Team
The Dunys successfully completed their 18-month mission in Congo and returned to the UK in
December 2020. Ruth set up and ran the school for the missionary kids while Jean Marc worked
on administration and Iraining our staff and students. They poured their heart and soul in their
work, serving the community through the Ouesso Pioneers, ehurch planting efforts, offering
homework help and supporting local families, as well as running programs for abandoned elderly
and children. The skills, experience and love that they brought have been invaluable.

We are an eye care charity and our vision is to help the blind and visually impaired by pioneering a non-profit eye surgical centre in the Republic of Congo. Please check out our website on http://www.newsightcongo.com/ 

New Sight Eye Care in the Republic of Congo receives funding and support internationally including the USA, Canada, U.K. and Hong Kong. The accounts from New Sight Eye Care UK only reflect the financial activity incurred within the UK and do not account for the accounts and activities from other countries.  For a comprehensive picture of the accounts of New Sight, please contact info@newsightcongo.com. 

Our work is 3-fold: 

1. Prevention and Cure: 4 in 5 people in the world who are blind are needlessly blind because their causes of blindness are either preventable or treatable. We have set up an eye centre of excellence primarily to help prevent and reverse these causes of blindness. By helping people to see, the quality of daily living will drastically improve not only for them, but for their families and wider communities also. The WHO estimates that 37% with low vision and 18% with blindness in the world are younger than 50 years' old. 

2. Helping the Blind: We are committed to helping those with irreversible blindness to live with their disability. Being blind is a hard thing, but being blind in a developing country is infinitely harder. Through rehabilitation, we seek to empower the blind to live as independently as possible. We act as advocates for the blind in the society. 

3. Training and Education: We seek to provide eye education to the community. For example, many who are blind from cataracts simply do not know that they can be cured through an operation. Another example is hygiene education which is paramount to trachoma, another common cause of blindness in the tropics. Immediately, we need to train nurses and supportive staff. In the long run, Henri Samoutou, one of the Directors, will also pass the surgical skills on by training others.
