Of these, 20.4 million have low vision and 5.9 million are estimated to be blind. It is estimated that 15.3 of the worlds blind population resides in Africa where poverty has significantly prevented most people from accessing quality care in this regard. Some of these conditions include cataracts, uncorrected refractive errors, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, corneal opacities, diabetic retinopathy, trachoma, and onchocerciasis. AIHWA has, therefore, taken a significant step to intervene with the establishment of aihwa Vision Care located at the aihwa integrated medical clinic in Nigeria. Form 990-EZ, Part III, Section N/A, Line 29 This refers to assistance given to poor patients detained in hospitals in Africa due to their inability to pay their medical bills. AIHWA partners with several evaluated local hospitals where these patients are held hostage to provide advocacy, financial support, and release for the patients. To maintain better control and transparency in the program, AIHWA has established an integrated medical clinic in Nigeria. At the clinic, indigent patients families are encouraged to pay a certain portion of the bills, while AIHWA will pick up the rest to make sure patients are not kept beyond their discharge date.
