It gave 570 eye check-ups and treatments. It handed out 300 pairs of eyeglasses. Every service was free. Led in the field by Dr. Paul Mulyamboga.
The Shiloh Sight eye camp brought free eye examinations, eyeglasses and cataract surgery to more than 500 people at Anaka General Hospital in Nwoya District, Uganda, October 9–11, 2026. Dr. Paul Mulyamboga led the field plan. He worked with Amigos Internacionales, Doctors on Mission, Charity Vision International (Uganda) and Global Eyeglass Ministry (USA).

Why Anaka, and why Korobar
Anaka General Hospital is a district hospital a short distance from Gulu and close to the Korobar MissionPoint community. Last month’s Korobar medical camp strengthened relationships with patients, families and pastors across the area. The October eye camp connects those same families with specialized care at a hospital they can reach. This is how the MissionPoint model works: local relationships link water, education, medical care, practical skills and a locally led church into one long-term plan.
In Dr. Paul’s words
“This presents to us a very wonderful opportunity to be able to offer free eye checkups, free eye treatment, free eyeglasses, and most importantly, an opportunity for us to be able to offer cataract surgeries for those that come with cataracts. We shall be in position to provide eyesight to those who have cataracts, and after the surgeries, they’re able to go back home smiling.”
— Dr. Paul Mulyamboga, Director of Medical Services, September 15, 2026
What eye care can change
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world, and the surgery that reverses them takes less than an hour. Amigos’ Shiloh Sight camps in Uganda have completed hundreds of cataract surgeries. Our photographs and videos document patients being examined, treated and beginning recovery. They also preserve the testimony of people who reached a camp after years without sight. An eyepatch is not the whole story, and surgery is never a guarantee. But each one represents a real step. A patient reached care. A medical team was there. Treatment was possible.
What it takes
$5,000
Three days. A surgical eye team. More than 100 people served.
The goal for this camp is $5,000. That is the full cost to Amigos of putting a surgical eye team in Anaka for three days and serving more than 100 people. It covers medicines, lenses, glasses, logistics, follow-up, and the administration that records every patient and accounts for every dollar. Dr. Paul has also asked for volunteers; if you are a medical professional interested in serving, contact us.
