Aside the free surgeries, with eye-glasses and free drugs, the project also aims at making health care delivery readily available, as well as provides succour to vulnerable women and children. Mrs. Okowa explained that she started the programme from her native Ika North East local council in line with the old adage that charity begins at home. She said the programme is intended to meet yearnings of the less privileged, especially those in rural communities to enable them access free medication. While lauding efforts of Restore Sight Africa Initiative (RSAI), Delta State Primary Health Development Agency (DSPHDA) and other donor agencies, she called for collaboration from all.
