The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, has said protecting children from vision impairment is crucial to the nation’s goal of ensuring quality health for children.
According to him, there’s a need to broaden access to comprehensive eye care and integrate eye health into existing healthcare systems to address vision impairment among children in Nigeria.
He said this on Thursday at a stakeholders meeting in Abuja as Nigeria joined the global effort to mark the 2024 World Sight Day which is themed: “Love Your Eyes Kids”.
