Those whose conditions needed further clinical diagnoses and treatment were referred to bigger health facilities.

Speaking to Madam Barbara Apedo the secretary to the foundation made it clear that, this would not be the last one in Dorfor Kome and they can also not promise them CHIP COMPOUND, but they would go and prepare with another eye specialist and come back at the right time who would see to those whose eyes need spectacles and treatment.

Moreover, a member of the team Mr. Richard Worlanyo made me understand that most of the people tested are also having hypotension which need to be on drugs but lack of funds many are not, he mentioned many diseases that may be the course of unhygienic water that people are patronizing in the said village, so he advised them to take good care of their drinking water.
