Nigerian Co-Founders Provide Free Eye Glasses to Improve Road Safety and Healthcare Access

A group of young co-founders in Nigeria mobilized resources to provide free eye glasses and advocate for sustainable healthcare services. With only 32% of Nigerians having access to affordable eyeglasses, the initiative aimed to bridge the gap by offering free eye screenings and glasses to 30 people, particularly targeting drivers at Oshodi Park.

The organizers emphasized the importance of bringing sustainable healthcare services closer to the people to reduce road accidents. The MediServe health initiative highlighted the need for accessible healthcare for all, especially for those who cannot afford it, to ensure a safer community and reduce accidents caused by poor vision.
