The South African National Defence Force has praised healthcare professionals participating in Project OWETHU for delivering vital medical services to remote communities in Limpopo, where limited access to specialist care has long affected patient outcomes. Military health teams conducted cataract surgeries and provided essential medical consultations, helping restore sight to elderly patients and addressing unmet healthcare needs in rural areas. The initiative forms part of broader efforts to strengthen outreach healthcare delivery, reduce surgical backlogs and improve equity in access to treatment across underserved regions of South Africa.
