The Osun State Government on Wednesday, announced that it will soon begin free eye screening for teachers and pupils in private primary and secondary schools across the state.
The initiative is under Governor Ademola Adeleke’s Imole School Eye Health Programme.
The Executive Secretary of the Osun Health Insurance Agency (OSHIA), Rasaq Akindele, stated this at the fourth-quarter meeting with service providers in Osogbo.
Akindele said the difficult financial situation the state is facing has delayed the extension of the programme to private schools and their teachers.
He, however, assured that “The Governor, Senator Adeleke, remains committed to everything he promised. We are going to extend eye care to private schools and their teachers. It is in the pipeline and will be rolled out anytime now.”
While assessing the performance of service providers over the last three months, the Executive Secretary said, “There have been many improvements in the care of enrollees. We have fewer complaints now, and many people are showing gratitude and appreciation to the facilities for the care rendered. In essence, there is a significant improvement from the last time until today.”
