In the heart of Makoko, a vibrant suburb of Lagos, Health Empowerment Africa Initiative – HEAI recent medical health outreach aimed to make a positive impact on the community’s well-being. Guided by our commitment to providing essential healthcare services, we focused on eye checks and general health assessments to empower the residents with knowledge and support.
Eye Check: A Vision for a Brighter Future Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals conducted comprehensive eye checks, offering residents the opportunity to assess and address any vision concerns. Visual health is crucial for overall well-being, and our outreach aimed to identify potential issues early on, providing corrective measures and resources to enhance the community’s eye health.
