About Unity Medical Foundation
UMF was set up to address the problem of visual loss and blindness in Pakistan. As of 2017, in Pakistan approximately 9 million people were blind or had significant visual impairment.
Pakistan is rated the fourth among the South Asian countries where visual problems are a significant medical problem. Compared with 1990 there is been 55% increase in blindness and visual impairment and this disease burden will continue to increase.

Each operation costs only £45 which will provide the gift of sight to those affected.
