Spain's Plan VEO: Free Vision Care for Half a Million Children
Spain Launches Plan VEO: €100 Yearly Vision Care for Children Spain has unveiled Plan VEO, a new initiative providing financial assistance for vision care to children under 16. The plan, announced by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and Madrid's regional president Mónica García, will offer €100 per year to families for glasses or contact lenses. This universal benefit aims to ensure that all children, regardless of their family's financial situation, have access to essential eye care. "The right to see well doesn't depend on income," stated Mónica García, emphasizing the plan's commitment to inclusivity. The initiative is expected to benefit over half a million children across Spain and is designed to be a permanent program, starting with the upcoming school year. Plan VEO not only provides financial relief but also streamlines processes, reducing unnecessary bureaucracy for families. This comprehensive approach is a testament to Spain's commitment to ensuring the well-being of its youngest citizens.
