Integrated Healthcare Outreach
AIHWA’s Integrated Healthcare Outreach programs attract both locally and internationally trained physicians, behavioral health specialists, and other healthcare professionals who find pleasure in joining to make a difference in the lives of others. These professionals provide free healthcare assistance to the underserved population, both in the short and long term. Each month, we strive to visit nearby towns and villages to offer free health screenings, which include eye care and various medical services for less privileged patients. AIHWA serves more than 10,000 patients each year with these free healthcare services.
Free Vision Care Outreach, Feb 2-7, 2025
Dr. John Wroblewski and Dr. Marie Annie Banville from the United States visited the aihwa Hope Center from February 2 to February 7, 2025, for a diabetic retinopathy campaign and workshop that included free general health services for over 1,200 patients. Like his previous visit in 2024, Dr. Wroblewski taught Nigerian ophthalmologists and optometrists how to use some of our special equipment at the aihwa Integrated Medical Clinic to examine patients and provide various treatments. Throughout the week and beyond, AIHWA provided many patients with free medications, screenings, and treatments. Those in need of vision correction received free eyeglasses, and multiple patients with diabetic retinopathy benefited from complimentary laser surgeries and treatments. Additionally, many patients underwent free cataract surgeries.
