Pendant son enfance au Cameroun, le Dr Jeanne Mayouego Kouam a d\u00fb faire face \u00e0 des probl\u00e8mes de vue. Son p\u00e8re l'a emmen\u00e9e chez un ophtalmologiste qui, dans une pi\u00e8ce tr\u00e8s sombre, lui a fait passer un examen appel\u00e9 r\u00e9tinoscopie. La r\u00e9tinoscopie est une technique utilis\u00e9e pour d\u00e9terminer l'erreur de r\u00e9fraction de l'\u0153il ou la qualit\u00e9 de la vision d'une personne, en projetant une lumi\u00e8re dans l'\u0153il pour observer la r\u00e9flexion sur la r\u00e9tine. Cette visite chez l'ophtalmologiste a eu un impact profond sur la vie du Dr Kouam. Elle a eu envie d'en savoir plus sur l'ophtalmologie afin d'expliquer son traitement \u00e0 son p\u00e8re. Plus tard, Jeanne a \u00e9t\u00e9 fascin\u00e9e par l'id\u00e9e de la chirurgie de la cataracte, car l'intervention redonne la vue \u00e0 quelqu'un qui ne voit que l'obscurit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Aujourd'hui, le Dr Kouam est ophtalmologue \u00e0 l'h\u00f4pital du district de Nylon, un h\u00f4pital public situ\u00e9 dans une zone urbaine de Doula, au Cameroun. La plupart de ses patients sont des agriculteurs. Pendant la saison des pluies, il leur est parfois impossible de se rendre \u00e0 l'h\u00f4pital. Ils se pr\u00e9sentent \u00e0 l'\u00e9tablissement m\u00e9dical avec des cataractes matures qui se sont durcies dans leurs yeux et n'ont pas les moyens de se faire soigner. Comme ses patients aveugl\u00e9s par la cataracte qui n'ont pas les moyens de se faire op\u00e9rer, le Dr Kouam fait partie des milliers de m\u00e9decins en Afrique qui ont d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9ment besoin d'une formation pour \u00e9liminer la c\u00e9cit\u00e9 due \u00e0 la cataracte.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Heureusement, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 de g\u00e9n\u00e9reux donateurs comme vous, HelpMeSee a pu couvrir les frais de formation du Dr Kouam. Elle s'est rendue \u00e0 Mumbai, en Inde, et a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 notre cours de formation qui a instruit les m\u00e9decins qui pratiquent l'extraction extracapsulaire de la cataracte (ECCE) sur la chirurgie manuelle de la cataracte par petite incision (MSICS). La proc\u00e9dure MSICS est sup\u00e9rieure \u00e0 l'ECCE car elle n\u00e9cessite une incision beaucoup plus petite qui peut gu\u00e9rir sans suture et r\u00e9duit consid\u00e9rablement le risque d'infection. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n
\n

La mission de HelpMeSee est de lutter contre la c\u00e9cit\u00e9 due \u00e0 la cataracte en formant des ophtalmologues dans le monde entier, en particulier dans les r\u00e9gions o\u00f9 le nombre de patients atteints de cataracte est \u00e9lev\u00e9, comme l'Afrique, l'Am\u00e9rique latine et l'Asie du Sud-Est. Nous travaillons avec diligence pour former et d\u00e9ployer rapidement de nombreux chirurgiens capables de fournir un traitement de haute qualit\u00e9. Gr\u00e2ce au simulateur de chirurgie oculaire haute fid\u00e9lit\u00e9 de HelpMeSee, il est possible de former efficacement de nombreux chirurgiens. Les chirurgiens disposent d'un nombre illimit\u00e9 de s\u00e9ances d'entra\u00eenement sur la mani\u00e8re d'effectuer des MSICS sur le simulateur, ce qui les rendra mieux \u00e9quip\u00e9s et plus comp\u00e9tents pour effectuer des chirurgies r\u00e9elles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Les personnes souffrant de c\u00e9cit\u00e9 par cataracte dans les r\u00e9gions les plus pauvres du monde sont non seulement vuln\u00e9rables aux chutes et aux chocs lorsqu'elles tentent de se frayer un chemin dans l'obscurit\u00e9, mais elles risquent \u00e9galement d'\u00eatre victimes de violences physiques et mentales. De nombreuses personnes aveugl\u00e9es par la cataracte n'ont pas d'autre choix que de compter sur leurs proches pour s'occuper d'elles. Enfin, parce qu'ils ne voient pas, les patients atteints de cataracte ne peuvent pas non plus effectuer leur travail quotidien pour subvenir \u00e0 leurs besoins et tombent dans une pauvret\u00e9 encore plus grande.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Dans l'une des situations les plus malheureuses pour l'un des patients du Dr Kouam, un agriculteur de 70 ans, p\u00e8re de nombreux enfants, souffrait de c\u00e9cit\u00e9 due \u00e0 la cataracte. Il a subi des violences physiques et des humiliations publiques lorsque les habitants de son village se sont moqu\u00e9s de lui et lui ont jet\u00e9 des pierres. L'homme se sentait isol\u00e9, d\u00e9prim\u00e9 et n'arrivait pas \u00e0 s'alimenter correctement. Heureusement, le Dr Kouam a pratiqu\u00e9 une op\u00e9ration manuelle de la cataracte par petite incision pour aider le patient \u00e0 retrouver la vue, ce qui a consid\u00e9rablement am\u00e9lior\u00e9 sa qualit\u00e9 de vie.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Le Dr Kouam s'efforce de fournir les meilleurs soins \u00e0 ses patients. Lorsqu'elle a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 travailler \u00e0 l'h\u00f4pital du district de Nylon, l'\u00e9tablissement m\u00e9dical ne disposait pas d'une unit\u00e9 d'ophtalmologie. Avec le soutien du personnel administratif de l'h\u00f4pital, le Dr Kouam a consacr\u00e9 son temps et ses efforts \u00e0 la construction de la clinique ophtalmologique de l'h\u00f4pital. L'objectif principal de la carri\u00e8re du Dr Kouame est d'effectuer des MSICS sur ses patients afin de restaurer leur vision contre (supprim\u00e9) la c\u00e9cit\u00e9 inutile due \u00e0 la cataracte. Elle s'efforce de contribuer \u00e0 la mission de HelpMeSee, qui consiste \u00e0 former des m\u00e9decins des communaut\u00e9s d\u00e9favoris\u00e9es \u00e0 la technique MSICS.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Le Dr Kouam est \u00e0 la hauteur du th\u00e8me de la Journ\u00e9e mondiale de la vue de cette ann\u00e9e : \"L'espoir dans la vue\". Elle a donn\u00e9 de l'espoir \u00e0 l'agriculteur pers\u00e9cut\u00e9 et \u00e0 beaucoup d'autres gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'unit\u00e9 d'ophtalmologie de l'h\u00f4pital du district de Nylon, au Cameroun, o\u00f9 elle travaille. Vous pouvez vous aussi donner de l'espoir en soutenant le travail d'un plus grand nombre de soignants de la cataracte comme le Dr Kouam.
