Following three decades of war, extreme poverty is widespread in Angola. The healthcare system and the educational system have been greatly affected. There is now a shortage of healthcare workers amidst rampant epidemics and diseases. The life expectancy and child mortality rates are among the worst in the world. |

It is very satisfying to see people who sometimes were many years blind and are suddenly able to see, and able to recognize their relatives and their children. They can walk about normally afterwards, and thus relieve their families and friends of the tremendous time-consuming responsibility of leading them around. And if a blind person falls and breaks something, you can imagine how much more that patient drains the resources of family and community. The CBM eye hospital is built to accommodate four ophthalmologists and has excellent facilities; but unfortunately we have not been able to attract any other ophthalmologists willing to take on a two to five year term, learn Portuguese, etc. Please contact us if interested. Thank you for your continued interest and support.
In 1985, EMAS joined with two sister agencies to construct and equip a new paediatric wing at the Kalukembe Hospital. Well-drilling was also undertaken and equipment was provided for a new water supply for the hospital. A hospital vehicle was also supplied. In 1989, EMAS became a partner in the Lubango Health Sciences Project which was formed to give postgraduate teaching to Angolan community physicians. Also, at that time, a project to aid deaf children was being developed. In 1995, EMAS brought one of the doctors to Canada for additional training.
