As Delta State marked World Sight Day 2026 on 8th October, 2026, with the theme “Love Your Eyes: Every Story Counts,” the Ministry of Health, Delta State Eye Health Committee, has highlighted contributions of leading eye health professionals across the state.
One of the key professionals supporting this year’s campaign is Dr. Oghenenyerhovwo Aghoghovwia Adegor, a dedicated Ophthalmologist and Senior Registrar at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital, DELSUTH, Oghara.
Dr. Adegor, who currently serves at DELSUTH, is part of the team providing free eye screenings, public awareness, and clinical support for eligible patients requiring reading glasses, cataract surgery and referrals as part of the statewide celebration holding simultaneously in Asaba, Delta North, Ughelli, Delta Central, and Warri, Delta South.
The 2026 celebration features a Walk for Sight, Road Walk, free eye screenings, public awareness campaigns, and provision of free eye care services.
According to the organisers, the initiative is aimed at promoting eye health and ensuring access to quality eye care for all Deltans.
This year’s program is being held under the distinguished leadership of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Executive Governor of Delta State, and the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Onojaeme, in collaboration with partners including the World Health Organization, WHO, Clinton Health Access Initiative, CHAI, Zenith Bank, and the Chief Ogheneovo Edewor Foundation.
The Chief Ogheneovo Edewor Foundation said it is proud of commitment of organisers and commended Dr. Adegor and all ophthalmologists at DELSUTH and across Delta State for their commitment to promoting eye health.
“We commend Dr. Adegor and all ophthalmologists at DELSUTH and across Delta State for their commitment to promoting eye health and ensuring access to quality eye care for all Deltans,” the Foundation stated.
World Sight Day is observed globally to draw attention to blindness and vision impairment and to promote eye care as a critical component of public health.
