The concerns over rising eye-related ailments in Kabwir and neighboring communities received a major boost on November 22, 2025, as Care Focus, with full sponsorship from philanthropist Nde Isaac Wadak, organized a free eye examination and eyeglass distribution outreach for residents in and around Kabwir Pada.
Held at the Palace of Ngolong Kabwir, the medical outreach targeted 100 people but recorded an impressive over 136 beneficiaries, drawn from eight community settlements. The turnout exceeded expectations, reflecting strong community interest in accessible healthcare services.
Flagging off the program, Nde Isaac Wadak expressed satisfaction with the attendance and urged residents to take advantage of the opportunity to know their eye health status and prevent avoidable blindness.
Two ophthalmologists—Dr. Aboki Benjamin and Dr. Daniel Ezra—led the medical team, offering professional examinations and screenings for a wide range of eye conditions. These included: Allergy conjunctivitis, Bacterial conjunctivitis, Myopia, Mature cataract, premature cataract, and Glaucoma.
Speaking on behalf of the medical practitioners, Ophthalmologist Daniel Ezra highlighted the importance of early detection, noting that the outreach provided timely intervention for many residents who had never undergone an eye test.
Similarly, the Ngolong Tuwan, Nde Tongshinen Genka, who spoke unbehalf of the traditional rulers, commended Nde Isaac Wadak for his generosity and consistency in supporting community wellbeing.
The outreach recorded several key benefits:
High Attendance: With 136 participants, the program surpassed its attendance target, demonstrating effective mobilization and growing health awareness.
Broad Reach: Covering eight communities ensured wide access to professional eye care services.
Expertise: The involvement of seasoned ophthalmologists improved the quality and credibility of examinations.
Timely Diagnosis: Beneficiaries received early detection of various eye conditions, allowing for immediate medical advice and treatment.
In the end, the Care Focus Outreach Program, sponsored by Nde Isaac Wadak, proved to be a highly successful initiative—bringing hope, clarity, and improved vision to many residents of Kabwir and its surrounding communities.
