In celebration of World Sight Day, City Pharmacy Medical Clinic was proud to support a community eye health outreach at the 9 Mile Urban Clinic recently.
The Outreach was facilitated in partnership with the National Capital District Provincial Health Authority (NCDPHA), Hope Worldwide PNG, and The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ PNG.
The event focused on raising awareness about eye health, encouraging early detection of eye conditions, and improving access to essential eye care services. Through health talks, patient screenings, referrals, and interactive community engagement, a total of 141 community members were screened, treated, and/or referred for further care.
City Pharmacy Medical Clinic contributed by setting up a booth and providing glasses to patients who required them following screening, helping make quality eye care more accessible to those in the community.
World Sight Day serves as an important reminder that regular eye checks can play a vital role in preventing avoidable vision loss.
We are honoured to have been part of this meaningful initiative and thank all partners involved for their commitment to improving community health.
👓 Together, we’re helping Papua New Guinea see a brighter future.
