Tunisia’s Health Minister Mustapha Ferjani unveiled plans on Wednesday to expand ophthalmology services, including mobile eye clinics for underserved regions, to detect diabetes and hypertension-related vision issues early. The initiative includes school-year screenings for children and enhanced training for ophthalmologists.
