The Good Vision team, led by Country Director Benson Ngure, paid a courtesy visit to Deputy Governor H.E. Christine Kilalo, followed by an inspection tour of the tele-refraction unit at Mwatate Subcounty Hospital. Also in attendance were Head of Optics Diana Langat and Business Development Manager James Mwangi.
The rollout of the tele-refraction unit has expanded access to affordable, specialized eye care services for residents of Mwatate. Early outcomes indicate improved detection and management of common eye conditions, including cataracts, and a reduction in preventable visual impairment.
Speaking during the visit, Deputy Governor H.E. Christine Kilalo, who also serves as CEC for Health Services, reaffirmed the county government’s commitment to strengthening strategic partnerships that advance equitable access to quality healthcare.
“Under the leadership of H.E. the Governor, we reaffirm our commitment to partner with Good Vision to further strengthen access to quality and inclusive health services across the region,” she stated.
Country Director Benson Ngure noted that the partnership has facilitated the delivery of essential eye care services, including screenings and provision of prescription glasses, thereby reducing barriers to access and minimizing the need for patients to seek care outside the county.
This initiative represents a significant step toward advancing inclusive, accessible, and sustainable eye health services for all.
