An eighty five year old Esther Obaurobo from Ovwodokpokpo in Ughelli South local government area who was blind for more than twenty years has regained her sight through surgical operation.

The woman who first appeared at the Rural Health Centre, Okpare-Olomu where she was referred for surgery was led by her son.

Esther Obaurobo who was in a very happy mood thanked the Uduaghan administration for the kind gesture and was later joined by friends and well wishers.

However over ten different operations were carried out at the Central Hospital Ughelli, including Moses Divine who was successfully operated of hydrocele which doctors described as fluid in the scrotum which is a congenital problem.
