Sir Emeka Offor Foundation

It is difficult to be a productive member of society when you are sick.  That is why the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation has invested in health services to make the community a better place to live – and a place to live better.  Free rural medical consultations allow those who rarely receive treatment to see a highly trained doctor.  This permanent health post gives people security and comfort that medical assistance is always nearby.
A self-contained 25-room ward is under construction at the National Orthopedic Hospital, Enugu to further serve patients in the Eastern region.

Acutely aware of the hidden danger Glaucoma poses to growing portion of world’s population, the Sir Emeka Offor Foundation established a €100, 000 Glaucoma research grant at the Department of Ophthalmology University of Mainz, Germany and also established a Nigerian fellowship for Cataract Surgery and Glaucoma Management at the same University.
