“This is a laudable programme introduced by the All Progressives Congress (APC) led administration of the state in conjunction with some health organisations and agencies, “Kamshak said.

He said that the free eye treatment carried out in Pankshin General Hospital was successful, and commended the doctors for volunteering their time.
