Spain to Fund Eyeglasses and Contact Lenses for Children Under 16

Spain to Fund Eyeglasses and Contact Lenses for Children Under 16 Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently announced a new law that will provide financial aid for eyeglasses and contact lenses for children under 16 years old. The program will begin next school year and will allocate €100 per child annually. This initiative is part of a larger government plan to strengthen public health services. "A good public health system is the safest investment for a society that protects the most vulnerable," Sánchez stated in a recent address. The program aims to ensure that children's vision needs are met, regardless of their family's financial circumstances. The government will allocate €48 million to fund the program. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring equal access to healthcare for all citizens, especially the most vulnerable members of society.
