Residents of Ablekuma North are set to regain their sight and improve their quality of life as the office of the constituency’s Member of Parliament, Ewurabena Aubynn, partners with the Ghana Health Service under the Ghana Eye Project 2026 to provide free cataract and other eye surgeries.
The initiative is part of the MP’s commitment to improving access to essential healthcare services in the constituency, targeting individuals suffering from cataracts and other vision-impairing conditions.
According to the MP’s office, the outreach programme will be conducted in two phases: the first on Monday, March 9, 2026, at the Tsuimaami Chief’s Palace, and the second on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at the Darkuman Lorry Station, with both sessions starting at 8:30 a.m.
Residents will have access to free eye screenings, consultations, and cataract surgeries. Cataracts remain one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in Ghana, particularly among the elderly, making such interventions critical.
Officials emphasised that the programme brings specialized eye care closer to the community, especially for residents who may not afford treatment at health facilities. Restoring sight will enhance participants’ well-being and allow many to resume economic and social activities.
Community members experiencing blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light, or cloudy eyesight are encouraged to take advantage of the free screenings.
Health advocates have praised the programme as a vital step in preventing avoidable blindness and strengthening community health outreach. Residents of Ablekuma North and surrounding areas are urged to participate and share the information widely to ensure everyone in need benefits from this life-changing initiative.
