Medical Managements
Preventative & Curative Medical Managements
Our Preventative and Curative Medical Management program promotes eye health through education on personal hygiene, sanitation, and good nutrition. We emphasize the benefits of moringa (shiferaw/ሺፈራው), a nutrient-rich plant high in Vitamin A, essential for maintaining healthy vision. To combat vision impairment caused by deficiencies, we distribute Vitamin A to high-risk individuals and collaborate with local healthcare agencies, such as the Queen Zewditu Memorial Hospital, to treat those in need.
We empower communities to seek immediate medical attention, recognizing that timely intervention is critical for preserving vision. Additionally, we host community health screening events and pop-ups, where the ADDIS team and local healthcare workers provide vital checks, including blood pressure screenings, to underserved populations.
Looking ahead, we plan to bring medical teams to Ethiopia to collaborate with local professionals in addressing reversible blindness, further expanding our impact on community health.
