Loveworld Medicaid, a part of the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation, offers free eye treatments to 18,000 beneficiaries with various eye conditions, including surgeries and medical check-ups. Dr. Olajumoke Ola Akisanya, the International CoFI Assistant Director, highlighted the initiative's impact on restoring sight and improving the quality of life for thousands in Africa and Asia.
The program, which began in May 2024, targets underserved communities by providing essential eye care services. Over 725 successful eye surgeries have been conducted, along with the dispensing of prescription glasses and essential medications.
The initiative aims to eliminate avoidable blindness and ensure no one is denied sight due to lack of access to medical care.
