An ophthalmologist from the Medical Readiness Training Exercise (MEDRETE)- Panamax Alpha 2023, performs manual small incision cataract surgery on a patient at Regional Hospital Dr. Luis "Chicho" Fabrega in Santiago de Veraguas, Panama, July 18, 2023. Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) is a self-sealing, fast-healing surgical procedure to remove advanced cataracts. MSICS is the simplest, most cost-effective treatment for cataracts which makes it a necessity for addressing the overwhelming scope of cataracts in low- and middle-income countries.
