Diocesan Cáritas of Cádiz and the Miranza Foundation sign an agreement to improve the eye health of people in vulnerable situations

Both organizations work to provide a better quality of life for people in vulnerable situations through access to specialized ophthalmological care.

Diocesan Cáritas of Cádiz and the Miranza Foundation have signed a collaboration agreement aimed at facilitating access to specialized ophthalmological care for people in vulnerable situations assisted by Cáritas. The initiative focuses on the prevention and maintenance of eye health, enabling accurate diagnoses and providing appropriate treatment for each condition. This partnership will help improve the quality of life for those who, due to a lack of resources, face difficulties in accessing medical care in this field.

Eye care for those who need it most

The agreement, signed at the Parish of the Holy Trinity in Algeciras by Vicente Pablo Ortells Polo, Director of Diocesan Cáritas of Cádiz, and Ana Sequí, Director of the Miranza Foundation, establishes a framework of cooperation through which the Miranza Foundation will offer ophthalmological consultations, diagnoses, and treatments to people referred by Cáritas, thus ensuring quality and accessible medical care for those who need it most.

In coordination with Cáritas and the Miranza Foundation and under the leadership of Dr. Ana Camacho, the team from Miranza Algeciras clinic, a center specialized in eye health care, will carry out these check-ups in a facility provided for this purpose.

During the signing ceremony, the Director of Diocesan Cáritas of Cádiz emphasized the importance of this agreement, stating that “access to healthcare is a fundamental right, and this agreement allows us to take another step in the comprehensive support we offer to people in situations of exclusion.” For her part, the Director of the Miranza Foundation expressed her organization’s commitment to eye health, saying, “collaborating with Cáritas allows us to reach those who need it most and ensure that no one is left behind due to lack of ophthalmological care.”

With this initiative, both organizations strengthen their commitment to social inclusion and access to healthcare, promoting a fairer and more equitable society. This agreement is an example of collaboration between the third sector and the healthcare field to offer concrete solutions to real problems faced by the most vulnerable population.
