A free eye care initiative organized by Quantum LC, partnering with AngloGold Ashanti and Help Is On The Way Mission, has restored vision to numerous Obuasi residents, including seniors and vulnerable populations with cataracts.

The annual health screening program benefited over 600 residents in the previous year, with 15 patients receiving fully-funded cataract surgeries from Quantum LC.

Frank Appiah Nuamah, 77, a retired AshantiGold worker from Odumase, had endured deteriorating vision for approximately three years following a cataract diagnosis. "They gave me medication, but my sight kept getting worse. Then Quantum came around with a mini-clinic for health examinations."

Quantum LC's CEO Joseph Titus Glover explained his personal motivation: "Watching my mother go blind made me realise how much people lose when they lose their sight. I knew I had to help others avoid that situation."

Dr. Benedicta Appiah-Thompson, Senior Specialist Ophthalmologist heading SALGYIN Medical Centre's Ophthalmology Unit in Cape Coast, led the medical team, providing comprehensive eye care including screening, surgery, and post-operative follow-up.

Sylvia Kisiedu, Quantum LC's Human Resource and Administration Manager, disclosed that 27 patients were initially selected for surgery; however, 15 ultimately received treatment, with one patient passing away beforehand.

Charles Narh-Bita, founder of Help Is On The Way Mission and ophthalmic technician at Kaiser Permanente (United States), noted the collaboration enabled care for patients unable to afford operations independently.
