Headline Eye Diseases in the WHO African region 
Description "Operation Yeelen" ("light" in the local Bambara language), a collaborative programme set up in Mali in 1979, seeks to prevent blinding diseases through a network of regional eye health centres, with outreach services to rural areas for early detection and treatment of eye disorders and for health education. Each regional eye centre can also carry out surgery against common causes of visual loss, such as cataract. So the programme is responsible for training personnel in eye care, whether at the specialist level or for nurses and health workers at the village level. Much of this training is conducted at the Institute of Tropical Ophthalmology in Bamako, a WHO Collaborating Centre for the Prevention of Blindness. In 1983, the Arab Gulf Programme for United Nations (AGFUND) joined in supporting the "Yeelen" programme through the WHO Programme for the Prevention of Blindness. The contribution from AGFUND has allowed for increased training activities, and for the rapid establishment or strengthening of the regional eye centres.

Village children line up as one of the visitors checks their eyes for signs of trachoma.
