Mike Davies OBE (Head of Programme Development, CBM UK) was one of the key speakers at The Cambridge Post-UN Summit Conference on Noncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health in Developing Countries.
The outcomes from the Conference (held on 20th January 2012) were translated into key messages and brought to the attention of MPs, Parliamentarians, civil servants, and other policy-makers, researchers, activists and practitioners, at a reception in the House of Commons at the end of January 2012.
Conference sessions included:
- Critical reviews of the outcomes of the UN Summit on Noncommunicable Diseases
- Short- and long-term strategies for addressing gaps in prevention, treatment, policy and 'public awareness' on noncommunicable diseases and mental health (NMH) in developing countries
- Highlights from a growing number of successful 'linking' and 'capacity-building' programmes, which assist individuals and organisation in the developing world to strengthen their own sustainable NMH research, treatment and care programmes.
- Different models of partnership to advance best practices and policies on NMH research, interventions, treatment and care - including multidisciplinary, multisectoral and multinational partnerships.Nkhoma Eye Hospital

Jeanne Nsimba, a 59-year-old woman from the Democratic Republic of Congo, received cataract surgery on her right eye at the Evangelical Hospital of Vanga. The surgery was performed by Dr. Kilangalanga, and afterwards Jeanne's bandage was removed and her eyes were tested to ensure the operation was successful. The surgery helped restore Jeanne's vision and allow her to see again, thanks to donations provided to the Christian Blind Mission by charitable supporters.

The document discusses the problem of blindness globally and the potential solution of Vision 2020. It notes that in 1994, 50 million people were blind from various causes like cataract, trachoma, vitamin A deficiency, with 60% of blindness from cataract. It states that 80% of blindness is preventable or curable. The Vision 2020 initiative aims to reduce blindness worldwide by implementing inexpensive interventions like cataract surgery for $20 and tetracycline ointment for $2.50. The initiative has the potential to reduce blindness by 13 million people by 2020.describing people
