The Member of Parliament (MP) for Afram Plains North, Betty Krosby Mensah has sponsored the operation of three blind siblings from Kronanka community in the Afram Plains North Community.

The three siblings aged 10, 7 and 5 years had been blind from birth as a result of cataract, which was operated on at the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital.

The Honourable Member of Parliament expressed delight over the successful surgery carried out on the children and promised to do more to reduce the plight of needy children in her constituency.

According to the MP, some parents attribute sicknesses of their children or themselves to spiritual causes instead of going to the hospital for treatment and described such habit as unhelpful.

Madam Betty Krosby Mensah further advised parents not to delay in seeking medical care for their children anytime they are sick.

Dr Kennedy Opoku an Ophthalmologist at the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital who performed the Surgery commended the MP for supporting the children to undergo the surgery.
