APPROXIMATELY 100 residents from Crabwood Creek, Corentyne, Region Six, recently benefitted from free eye testing and eye care services provided by the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security’s Difficult Circumstances Unit.
In partnership with the Ministry of Health, the initiative distributed eye testing vouchers to residents from Crabwood Creek and nearby villages, helping to improve access to much-needed vision care.

The event, part of the government’s ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare services across Guyana, was warmly welcomed by the local community.

Many residents expressed their appreciation for the free services, which will make it easier for those in need to receive corrective lenses and other eye care treatments.
In addition to eye care services, the Family Enhancement Services Sector (FESS) was present to provide valuable information on family counselling and strategies for improving family dynamics. The FESS team shared resources aimed at strengthening family units and supporting emotional well-being within the community.

The Government of Guyana, through initiatives like these, continues to prioritise improving the lives of its citizens, ensuring access to essential healthcare services, including eye care, in communities across the country. The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security remains committed to delivering such impactful programmes, which contribute to the overall well-being of Guyanese citizens.
