Sightsavers, a charity organization fighting blindness in Nigeria, refurbished an eye health center and also supplied suitable Modern staff Quarters at General Hospital Shendam, Plateau State, to assist in addressing the issue of the growing number of community members in need of eye treatment.
Commissioner of Health Dr. Nimkong Ndam stated that the project, which cost millions of dollars, will increase the challenges faced by the Southern Zone of the state, where an estimated 994,000 people lack access to adequate eye health services, during the commissioning of the renovated facility donated to the Plateau State Government on Tuesday at General Hospital Shendam.
The health commissioner continued by saying that the updated and outfitted eye unit will, going forward, increase access to eye care services and lower the risk of traveling to far-off areas to receive services.
