This initiative addresses a significant health issue affecting the population, particularly the elderly, aiming to promote the well-being and quality of life of the citizens. The agreement allows patients diagnosed with cataracts requiring surgical intervention to be operated on promptly and without direct financial cost.
Healthcare costs are equally shared by the FAC and the CMP. Furthermore, the Municipality provides transportation for residents to appointments and surgeries, along with pre- and post-operative care through its Division of Education, Social Action, and Health.
The local authority emphasizes the importance of this partnership, which has been instrumental in reducing waiting times and ensuring an effective response to a condition that directly impacts the autonomy and quality of life of the senior population.
