Alakh Nayan Mandir Eye Institute works extensively in the remote rural regions of Southern Rajasthan in India. Varoius free eye disease screening camps are being organized in an outreach mode so that services could be offered at the grass root level.
Patients who cannot afford to come to the hospitals in cities could be provided with basic eye examination and treatments. Later, patients identified and shortlisted for surgery or any other intervention are being transported to the base hospital in Udaipur and necessary treatment is provided.
During the months of December 2017, January and February 2018, more than 23103 patients ahve been proved eye care servcies out of these 11576 were seen absolutely free of cost.
Surgical services were given to around 3000 patients and more than 1700 patients were operated upon completely free of cost. Major cost of these procedures was borne by the hospital itself.
Rajasthan having a major population in tribal areas, eye problems are seen on a large scale. Supoort of donors can help us do more and more for the under privileged people.
