“Eyes are essential,” Njodi said. “Neglecting them risks blindness.” He highlighted how ignorance and poverty cause vision loss, making Gombe eye health initiatives vital.
Screening Initiative Launched
The team screened Njodi’s eyes, previewing a program for Government House staff. This supports Gombe eye health goals to catch issues early and prevent blindness.

Njodi lauded the team’s efforts. “Your dedication serves humanity,” he said. He pledged support to ensure staff screenings, strengthening Gombe eye health campaigns.
Statewide Health Outreach
Team leader Zainab Mohammed outlined the initiative. “We’re providing free eye checks for civil servants,” she said. This Gombe eye health effort promotes early detection.
Focus on Blindness Prevention
Mohammed stressed preventing avoidable blindness. The Gombe eye health campaign, tied to World Sight Day, enhances healthcare access and awareness across the state.
Collaborative Health Push
The program unites the Clinton Health Access Initiative with Gombe’s health ministry. Their collaboration drives Gombe eye health by ensuring widespread screening access.
Promoting Preventive Care
Njodi advocated for a preventive health culture. “Checkups should be routine,” he urged. This vision fuels Gombe eye health efforts to protect citizens’ vision.
