Dr. Vincent Ngaradoum: A Medical Professional Seeking to Restore Sight to Many in His Community

Vincent Ngaradoum, a medical professional from Chad, had always been passionate about helping others. Working as a doctor in his local district hospital, he witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of eye problems, particularly cataracts, on the lives of his patients. With only few ophthalmologists in Chad, Dr. Ngaradoum knew that he had to do something to address this critical need.

Armed with a dream to become a skilled ophthalmologist, Dr. Ngaradoum applied for a scholarship from the Islamic Solidarity Fund for Development (ISFD). His dedication and commitment to serving his community shone through, and he was accepted into the program. This scholarship allowed him to pursue his dream at Joseph Ki-Zerbo University in Burkina Faso. After graduating in December 2024, he returned to Chad and is now making a positive impact on his community by providing vital eye care services.

Dr. Ngaradoum's story is an inspiring one, a testament to commitment of the ISFD to supporting quality health care of communities in IsDB member countries. His journey is far from over, but his determination and passion will undoubtedly lead him to achieve his goals, improving the lives of countless people in Chad.
