Thanks from Africa
September 9, 2019
The glasses of NZOZ "Twój Lekarz" patients helped children from Nairobi. More than a thousand people gained a new perspective on life.
Our ophthalmologist, Dr. Barbara Mista, together with optometrists from the Leczymy z Misją Association, examined 1,220 people from Korogocho, Kenya, in July this year. All of them also received new glasses. This was possible, among others, thanks to the patients of the NZOZ "Twój Lekarz", who responded to our appeal and got involved in collecting glasses.
– I am impressed because the glasses were brought to all our facilities. I am very happy that our patients and employees showed great heart and supported us in this collection. We collected full boxes of glasses for patients from Africa – says Aleksandra Chlebik-Olender, co-founder of the network of neighbourhood medical facilities NZOZ “Twój Lekarz”.
As a thank you to our patients, Dr. Barbara Mista and optometrists from the Leczymy z Misją Association sent them from Nairobi.
Many patients seek medical attention only when disturbing symptoms appear. However, some illnesses develop painlessly and without any obvious warning signs. This is why the nationwide program "My Health" was created, which allows adults to assess their health and detect risk factors at an early stage.
In this episode of WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS, Dariusz Litera talks with Dr. Sebastian Floryn, an ophthalmology specialist, about symptoms that shouldn't be ignored. The expert explains when you should urgently seek medical attention, why time matters in some cases, and what systemic diseases can manifest through eye symptoms.
Who we are
In our work, we are guided by the idea of a family doctor who provides the patient with comprehensive care at all times, not only when they are ill. Our mission is to take care of the health of residents on a daily basis. We provide health education and promote prevention.
