In the pursuit of fulfilling our mission of ‘Quality Vison to All’, Alakh Nayan Mandir Eye Centre provides eye care services in the remote rural regions of Southern Rajasthan through its various outreach activities, reaching out to the most vulnerable populations in this area. Various eye screening camps are being organized. Patient selected for surgery are being transported to the base hospital. They are then operated in the most modern hi tech operation theatres to ensure quality and safety.
Last three months of August, September and October 2019, a total of 1668 surgeries were done and out these 876 surgeries were totally free of cost. The free sight restoring surgeries were performed upon economically weaker sections of the community. All these patients were transferred to the base hospital for the same. Beside, numerous awareness campaigns have been organized in this period. World Sight Day was celebrated on 10 October 2019 in which various awareness programs were conducted in remote villages. World Sight Day is celebrated to create awareness and importance about eye health in the general population.
Alakh Nayan Mandir keeps on putting its untiring efforts for reduction of avoidable blindness in this region. Support from generous donors would help us accelerate our efforts.
