Restoring Vision and Hope: Afenyo-Markin Provides Free Eye Care to Constituents

The Majority Leader and Member of Parliament (MP) for Effutu constituency in the Central region, Hon Alexander Kwabena Afenyo-Markin, has made big intervention for constituents with free eye care services.

He is being praised for his philanthropic efforts in providing free eye care services to his constituents for many years.

Through his support, hundreds of cataract patients from the constituency, have undergone sight-restoring surgery at the Save the Nation’s Sight Clinic in Accra, fully funded by the legislator.

Kofi Egyir Blankson, a fisherman from Winneba who suffered from bilateral cataract blindness, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Mr Afenyo-Markin’s generosity and philanthropy know no bounds. I was amazed to learn that he has been paying for free eye services for his constituents for years now.”

Blankson shared his personal story of how he lost his sight due to cataracts and was unable to work. Upon learning of Afenyo-Markin’s efforts, he visited the MP’s office and was scheduled for surgery in Accra.

“I was brought to Accra in a bus to see the eye specialist. I was surprised when I was told that the operation was over, and my eye was plastered. I was overjoyed with excitement when I could see again,” he said.
