Healthy Women, Healthy Liberia reached an agreement with L V Prasad Eye Institute Liberia to set up and operate an Eye Care Center within HWHL’s Waterfield Primary Healthcare Center. The Eye Care Center is now operational providing services at affordable costs to all segments of the community who can afford to pay for the services as well as providing free eye care to all those who are in need and cannot afford to pay for the services. In addition to eye tests, glasses are fitted and, glaucoma and other conditions are treated at Waterfield. Our Opthomoligist, Dr. Douglas is at the Eye Care Center seeing patients 5 days a week. We also have an Ophthalmologist, Dr. Joseph Kerkula, who continues to see patients twice a month. Surgeries (such as for cataracts) are referred to LVPEI’s facility at JFK hospital in Monrovia. We’re thrilled to be able to offer this life-changing service to the people of Margibi County Liberia.
