Government launches new eye care unit at Kisse

The government has launched a new eye care unit to improve access to affordable treatment and address the rising cases of visual impairment across the country. Health experts say many Kenyans are struggling with eyesight problems due to low awareness, high medical costs, and limited access to specialized services. The initiative, spearheaded by the Ministry of Health in partnership with various stakeholders, aims to strengthen both preventive and curative eye care programs nationwide.
