He noted that because of the frequency of eye challenges, he intends to hold a special outreach to cater for people with eye challenges.

He called on the people to use the opportunity to ensure that their health challenges are addressed.

While thanking the senator for his sympathy and concern to the people, the caretaker chairman of Shelleng local government, Hon Ishaku Tala noted that the gesture was unprecedented.

He said the program marked the first time such a massive health outreach is sponsored by an individual in the area, urging the people to reciprocate by voting the senator come 2023 general election.

He urged the people to access the intervention because of its relevance and importance urging pregnant women to always access ante natal and post natal services.

He also called on the people to ensure that their children are immunized against the child killer diseases just as he urged men to always allow their wives to go to hospital whenever the need arise.
