A medical conditions like this can take away dear ones from you so soon so i really felt that maybe this is a profession that i should take up. This will be the 1st i camp ever held in this region. The risk of getting a cataract rises in such high altitudes with prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays. This combined with poor nutrition and lack of basic medical care may catch wrecks the leading cause of preventable blindness in the developing world.

Not all of them speak with english so a doctor a wait patiently guides them with hand actions. Dr Joyce Clough Dane is an eye doctor from a Remote Island in indonesia a recent medical graduate shes here for a month long Training Program with doctoral weight. So well be able to do pieces independently now. For nearly perfecting the technique so we need to do about another 2000 before succumbing to besides and.

The ghost doctor it is an amazing i dont know a good man who wants to share his knowledge with other eye doctors regardless of which country you come from. For dr joyce its a steep learning curve. In indonesia i would operate on 2 to 3 patients a day where since i have a right here i typically operate on night 10 patients daily. Its Late Afternoon and both doctors have been operating for more than 5 hours but the crowd outside desperate for their turn isnt easing up. Finally its turn. Not only going to. These cataracts are.

Its a lot of pressure but she remains upbeat. And yes im happy to return to me yes apart from see my family i can also help the cataract patients in me as regain their eyesight. A few days later i also head for indonesia. I want to see how dr joyce is doing if doctors are having problems getting into nepals mountains indonesias 17000 islands are even more challenging its why having a local eye surgeon is crucial. In these as one of the highest rates cataract blindness in the world with experts estimating between 2 and 3000000 people affected by the disease theres been no official studies done here on this island but its not just adults who are suffering from correct blindness and were about to find out why. While altitude is a problem in the pool here is the ultraviolet rays reflecting off the water for a community that spends a lot of time in the ocean many are at high risk of developing cataracts. Today dr joyce is conducting the islands 1st cataract surgery camp to dr awaits for most students have flown in to help. While cataracts are usually associated with older people we find children among the waiting patients at that but for cataracts in children there is a possibility to have it from birth or that the pregnant mother suffered from malnutrition or fever contract of chicken pox but usually the cataracts dont fully form until theyre about 11 to 17 years old the siblings are given something to comfort them in preparation for whats to come. It takes about 5 minutes for the anesthesia to take effect and then its time for surgery. In the theater dr joyce is getting ready to operate on her 1st child patient. Of the head with a. 13 year old soul than tell him ban or is afraid of needles and hid the fact that he was blind in one eye but when he found out there was a free i camp he confessed to his parents that he had trouble saying dr joyce makes the incision but its not easy to keep a young patient calm. But its soon over and solon is sent off to recover for dr joyce its on to the next patient. The hospital that shes working in is extremely basic sanitation is a problem and theres a severe lack of medical equipment we found only one sterilizer. But fortunately with dr awaits technique you dont need much. And 264 operations are completed here in just 2 days. The next morning the patients line up they and dr joyce are about to find out if the surgeries worked. Dr joyces young patient souls and is now able to see in his right eye itll take time before sovan fully recovers. My mind numbing but. I have 5 can you say maybe one meter to see. You are long gone. Yeah. Its a number and i feel happy and proud when my patients regain their eyesight after operations about her have. C c as this size lonely key is the patients begin to sing and dance its been a successful 1st camp. From nepal to indonesia dr awaits vision is inspiring a new generation of doctors.

I live by but want to talk so. That you can see that donovan also and this with a kid with the answer you know full well on the order of the other dancer. I was also done that again lets. Take you live to the United NationsGeneral Assembly where the bella Russian Foreign minister vladimir mark a is addressing the 75th session of the General Assembly lets listen in. And a virus pandemic flu pandemic affects us all and what is more it is a problem that will be with us into the near future at the very least still leading experts and analysts are actively underscoring its global ramifications and its impact on Global Politics and the economy according to many assessments we are dealing with a paradigm shift and tectonic changes perhaps we are only time will tell and of unfortunately the pandemic has clearly shown that the International Community that we talk about so much was at the peak of the crisis essentially unable to meet the hopes placed upon it. Clearly the prevailing thinking was that this is a challenge best addressed individually practically everyone batten down the hatches closed their borders to them and cut off contact with the outside world. In response to this challenge which didnt choose what we saw to be a dubious we didnt shut down we did not isolate ourselves we needed he wondered what then was the point of promoting globalization and openness over recent decades of the ones. From the outside we believed and continue to believe in the success of collective evidence what we believed in and continue to believe in the potential of International Community unfortunately some countries chose to use the method of accusing others of acting wrongdoing in the fight against the pandemic. This was for the simple reason that the International Community did not draw up a common approach to the problem probably then lies not so much in the pun demick as elsewhere. But this in the situation before us specific National Context have become a determining factor in the fight against coronavirus william bell every chose to forge own power this was based on 2 factors how to keep the country running in the best possible way primarily for its economy and ensuring api people are best protected from the arab approach as a situation better bruce has shown has proven its worth and the spread of coronas around the world today is further confirmation of this there are a lot of evaluations and conclusions still to be made but we can already say with certainty that the covert outbreak has on the one hand shed light on the acute need for a stronger state and on the other hand has clearly shown how interconnected the world is no country alone can make Real Progress in solving problems that are global in scale if other countries remain sidelined or left out so through our joint efforts we must transform this crisis into not a tuna team to improve the situation around the world we need to learn to work together. The pandemic has temporarily shifted focus away from of the global problems problems and conflicts including Security Problems which regrettably are not falling in number in this anniversary year for the un and the 7 and 75 years after the end of the 2nd world war the republic of belarus as one of the founders of the un is calling for particular responsibility to be demonstrated by Member States 1st and foremost by the members of the Security Council for the functioning of our organization and the fulfillment of its role in this connection i wish to recall one of the leading figures in the u. N. Reform a sector general and nobel peace laureate sadak how much old this year marks 115 years since his birth. He is believed to have been the one who inspired and tiredly adam tirelessly advocated for preventive diplomacy that hamish old who died carrying out his mission to find a solution to a grave crisis believed that only mutually respectful dialogue can and almost negotiations between parties to a given conflict at its early stages can prevent a conflagration this is something that is lacking in todays world we have forgotten what dialogue is and if we manage to remember then we have surely forgotten how to use it i must mention that for several years now better views have been actively calling for every new broad dialogue on International Security in order to solve disagreements in intergovernmental relations based dialogue could put back on track the building of a just and effective multilateral global order. With this in mind bella bruce is supporting and promoting pragmatic initiatives at the u. S. Focused on maximizing the organizations potential in terms of maintaining International Peace and security. This year we will once again table of the General Assembly on the 1st committee with broad sponsorship from like mine its
