The Japanese government is coming to the aid of the Moroccan association for the prevention of blindness. This is through a donation of ophthalmological and optical equipment.
The ceremony to hand over this donation took place on Wednesday in Rabat in the presence of the Japanese Ambassador to Morocco, Takuji Hanatani, and the Secretary General of the Ministry of Solidarity, Larbi Tabit, as well as various personalities and local elected officials.
This donation worth 500,000 DH is part of the non-reimbursable aid program for local micro-projects contributing to human security (APL).
This amount is intended for the purchase of a non-mydriatic retinograph, an automatic refractometer, a slit lamp, an automatic frontofocometer, a test screen and an automatic scanner grinder, indicates a press release from the Japanese embassy in Morocco on Thursday.
Through this donation, Japan is further strengthening the existing relations between the two countries. The Japanese government has contributed to the realization of a total of 360 projects in the Kingdom, for a cumulative amount of more than 166 million dirhams, according to the same source.
