Abstract
- Purpose: To describe the logistics and methodology of a high yield surgical non-profitable campaign.<br />Methods: A descriptive study based on previous non-profitable campaigns dedicated to cataract surgery.<br />Results: The method is based on planification, finance acquisition, volunteer support, foreign affairs with the collaborating country where the surgeries are going to be performed, team organization, and overall, summoning all the stated items to materialize a global humanitarian campaign to eradicate cataracts by clinical and surgical procedures.<br />Conclusions: Blindness due to cataracts can be over-ruled. We consider that through our planification and methodology, other organizations may acquire some knowledge to improve their methodology and carry out similar volunteering surgical campaigns. Planification, coordination, financial aid, determination, and a strong will power are altogether compulsory for a successful non-profitable surgical campaign.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Sociedad Española de Oftalmología.
