As stated in the release, the project took off on 22 March, 2023 with the screening of more than 35 patients.
Out of the lot, 20 patients were certified medically fit to undergo the eye surgery which eventually took place at the Kubwa General Hospital on Thursday, 30 March.

The beneficiaries gave kudos to Abuja Platinum Lions Club for sponsoring their surgeries and spending such huge sums of money for the benefit of mankind.
