Outreach Programs
The Eye Centre has an Outreach Team to serve the people in the remote areas in the Coast of Kenya who cannot avail of the services provided by the Lions Eye Centre due to either economic or logistical difficulties.
The Outreach Team conducts eye camps at various remote locations, screens the patients, brings them to the Centre, provides the necessary treatment and drops them back to their villages. This service is provided free of cost to the patients. The activity is funded by donations and the surplus generated from fees charged on the services provided at the LIONS MEDICAL CENTRE.
The Outreach Teams have screened over 200,000 people and provided the necessary services to those in need, including removal of more than 20,000 cataracts from years 1997 to 2019.
