Additional comments by CEO and CHAMA Members
Between 2013 and now, Dr Chuddy Onwuegbuna hasn’t missed any Nigerian invasion except one Isiukwuato invasion (l wasn’t there either). But yet to attend international mission with CHAMA
HIGHLY ORGANIZED
I have never had any headache with the eye section during invasion. In fact l go to sleep because Dr Chuddy Onwuegbuna would take his time and organize everything including but not limited to sourcing Optometrist and as well as coming with his own equipment and supplies as much as he’s able
He takes away the burden and cumbersome in planning and getting eye Doctors. He makes life easier for me. l have said that we will just have eye mission because l am always at peace and stress-free with eye section. He uses his network and goodwill to gather eye Doctors and for me. Organizing annual invasion is not an ABCD as it appears or sound
