I attest to your professionalism. Dr. Nkumbe, you operated on my left eye on July 4, 2024, following a vitreous hemorrhage. The result of the operation is simply fantastic. It’s true that the eye isn’t fully healed yet, but I can see well. A special thank you to you, Dr. May the Lord grant you a long life so that you continue to save not only Cameroonians, but also foreigners. You are doing excellent work, Dr.!

My experience at MICEI is that here you’ll find a hospital in the heart of the African continent that excels at organizing highly specialized eye care and offers an excellent training program for eye health professionals. Alongside this constant pursuit of excellence, there is also highly regarded institutional governance thanks to the exemplary leadership of its administrators. This is a place where Africa can be proud to develop its high-quality workforce to combat blindness and promote eye health in sub-Saharan Africa. I recommend this accredited center to various eye health programs and projects across Africa for its high-quality and inclusive training and care.

Proud and honoured to have met Doctor Henry. He’s the ophthalmologist in Africa with national and international recognition. Very devoted, disciplined and the very best at everything he sets his mind to do. I’ll encourage you to like, comment, share and follow his page for rich and educative content.
