The number of operations performed, a number of doctors trained and an increase in surgical coverage were calculated. The results showed that there is an increase in the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained with ophthalmic surgeries and DALY. Furthermore, there is an increase in the surgical coverage in all the districts of Sulaimani governorate.
