VISION Care, a leading Korean ophthalmology Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), will soon visit Ghana to conduct free surgeries for 150 cataract patients.

A team of medical volunteers is currently going through visa processing before the visit, which aims to give hope to the beneficiaries.

This was the result of a recent meeting between Ghana’s Ambassador to South Korea, Mr Kojo Choi, and the leadership of Vision Care in South Korea.

Mr Choi, in a statement issued on Saturday, mentioned that the exercise is not just to restore vision, but transform lives, families, and futures.

He said President John Mahama’s recent visit to Korea helped build on his connection with Vision Care and shaped it into a concrete collaboration.

“This is more than a medical outreach. It is a clear and tangible outcome of strengthened ties between Ghana and Korea following the President’s visit. From dialogue to action,” he stated.

He said, “We look forward to welcoming the team to Ghana and witnessing the light return to many.”

This effort aligns with the government’s agenda of providing for the health needs of Ghanaians, especially the most vulnerable.

Already, the Mahama Cares medical fund, set aside to provide critical health needs to Ghanaians including infectious diseases, is bringing relief to homes and persons who hitherto could not get treatment for their ailments.

Mr Choi, who shares in the vision of making quality health care accessible to all, is building relationships and forging new ones in Korea to help Ghana achieve this noble objective.

The ambassador is seeking to strengthen the bond of friendship between the two countries—a relationship built on mutual respect and shared prosperity.
