The Loveworld Medical Missions and Services is committed to promoting health and impacting land preserving lives through the global projects and initiatives of its executive arms; including the Trauma Care International Foundation, the Volunteer Medical Corps, and the Loveworld Community Clinics.

Both the Trauma Care International Foundation and Volunteer Medical Corps are member agencies of the Chris Oyakhilome Foundation International and they have impacted the lives of millions around the world through various medical and humanitarian projects. Through Loveworld Medicaid and the V.I.S.I.O.N. 10000 Free Eye Surgeries, Medicaid Health Insurance and Loveworld Community Clinics, partners and stakeholders of the Loveworld Medical Missions and Services have achieved significant impact in improving the health outcomes for so many who are less privileged.

But, as far as today is concerned, the Loveworld Medicaid Global Press Conference is being convened specifically to showcase the remarkable impact of the V.I.S.I.O.N. 10,000 Free Eye Surgeries Initiative since its inception one year ago! This program has transformed lives by restoring sight and bringing light to communities, and the press conference will serve as a platform to share these impactful testimonies with the world. Furthermore, the event will highlight powerful stories of transformed lives and the global reach of the Loveworld Medical Missions and Services’s vision to provide accessible healthcare; and an opportunity to interact with program beneficiaries, to amplify the testimonies to you all in the world at large the impact of the collective efforts of the Loveworld Medical Missions and Services, as inspired by the Man of God, Pastor Chris.

V.I.S.I.O.N 10,000 FREE EYE SURGERIES: THE PROVISION OF FREE AND QUALITY EYE CARE

The eye care systems of many African countries face two major challenges: the first is that there are often too few specialists, and the second is that of expensive equipment – which either is not available or makes the cost of eye care high for the patient. As such, most facilities cannot afford diagnostic tools, and trained experts are unevenly distributed across counties, thus preventable blindness continues to rise.

Therefore, VISION 10,000 free eye surgeries serves a key initiative for the provision of free and quality eye care for those who otherwise would not have access to this aid. For instance, in Nigeria, where an estimated 24 million people suffer from vision loss, 1.3 million are blind, and access to quality eye care remains a critical challenge. BUT, the V.I.S.I.O.N. 10000 Free Eye Surgeries Initiative tackles this head-on by providing free corrective eye surgeries, advanced ophthalmic care, and tailored treatments to thousands of beneficiaries in underserved communities. In fact, beneficiaries from various communities such as Olusosun, Ibeju-Lekki, Isolo, Abule-Egba, Waru, Isheri, Tombia Kingdom, Oko, Erediauwa, Warri and even Mumbai in India have been directly impacted by the intervention.

THE TRANSFORMATIVE IMPACT OF V.I.S.I.O.N 10,000 FREE EYE SURGERIES

Let’s talk further about the impact of V.I.S.I.O.N. 10000 Free Eye Surgeries Initiative, as this groundbreaking program has restored sight and contributed significantly to the improved vision of over 18,000 individuals across Africa and Asia, illuminating lives and communities! Now, this impact follows the strong desire of Loveworld Medicaid to strengthen their global health care systems and preserve lives by providing a wide bouquet of high-quality healthcare services all encompassed under the umbrella MEDICAID initialism, which we should break down.

First is the letter M: which stands for Medicine (specifically, the provision of free medications, medical and surgical services) to beneficiaries. Secondly, E: represents the delivery of much-needed medical equipment. The letter D: represents the delivery of dynamic health education through blended learning platforms, health educational programs and events, and web applications. The letter I: represents providing innovative telemedicine solutions. Next, the letter C: represents Building, equipping, and operating Loveworld Community Clinics.

The letter A: then stands for adopting primary health centers and selected hospitals and equipping them with consumables and medical equipment. The letter I: speaks to providing health Insurance packages to indigent families; and finally, the letter D: speaks to Disaster Response comprising the delivery of emergency response services and execution of medical relief missions.

Can we talk about the holistic nature of this approach to healthcare?

• Empowering communities with medical services AND knowledge through dynamic health education
• Maximised reach through innovative telemedicine solutions
• Reliable care in close proximity through the building, equipping, and operating Loveworld Community Clinics
• Disaster Response provision comprising the delivery of emergency response services

V.I.S.I.O.N. 10,000 FREE EYE SURGERIES EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS TO RECLAIM THEIR INDEPENDENCE

Here’s something remarkable that needs to be highlighted in light of the impact of VISION 10,000 Eye Care, and this is taking a numerical account of the impact, because truly every person, and act of service counts in such cases.

First, some of the beneficiaries of this initiative have been known to travel inter-state just to attend these interventions because of the burden of their ill health and their great desire for relief and treatment. Then, in addition, the impact of the initiative (so far) in the last 16 months includes:

• 8,507 free prescription glasses distributed;
• 8,069 individuals provided with essential eye medications, to manage their conditions effectively
• 725 successful corrective eye surgeries which have significantly enhanced vision and quality of life.
• Over 18,000 beneficiaries have been impacted directly till date.

Now, the Man of God, Pastor Chris, has famously said that the extent of your vision is the boundary of your blessing. How far your vision can go is how much you will possess. Of course, here he is speaking of seeing with the eyes of your Spirit and in faith. But, have you ever thought how difficult it must be for one to use their imaginative power without reference to what their physical eyes have seen. E.g. Imagine a red car.

And so, the impact of all this work is not merely physical. It gives people an opportunity to make the physical work for and conform to the spiritual. Again, Romans 10:17 tells us that “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. Here, the Apostle Paul not only dealt with the relationship between faith and hearing, but it mattered by the inspiration of the Spirit that he highlights that even those who cannot hear physically, they can receive hearing by the Word God so that this relationship between faith and hearing applies to them as well – which is what we have seen through the HSLHS.

INSPIRING STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION: TESTIMONIES FROM V.I.S.I.O.N. 10,000 FREE EYE SURGERIES

Now, the impact of V.I.S.I.O.N. 10000 is best told through the lives it has changed:

• Favour, 13, overcame bullying and academic struggles after a traumatic cataract was surgically corrected, allowing her to thrive in school.
• Adekunle, an analyst who lost his career to advanced glaucoma, regained his vision in June 2024. Now, he walks confidently, reads clearly, and cherishes moments with his newborn child.
• Elizabeth Solomon, was blind for a decade, rediscovered the world’s colors after her surgery. She testified saying “I can now engage with my children and live without fear,” crediting Loveworld Medicaid’s sponsors.
• Godwin, who battled cataracts for 18 years, saw his business and social life collapse. But, after his V.I.S.I.O.N. 10000 surgery, he described the moment his bandages were removed, saying “The world was vibrant and clear—a profound sense of liberation.”

These stories reflect the initiative’s ripple effect: improved health outcomes and increased accessibility to life-changing care.
