Karmirhath Hospital located at North-West Corner of Bangladesh has been serving the people of Gaibandha district since 1986. The Eye Care Section of the Hospital holds Cataract Surgery Session every months. During the last three months 2772 eye patients were treated at the hospital. Cataract operations were conduct on 73 patients.
Case Study:
Chitra is a second year Honors student in a local college at Gaibandha. She developed problems in her eyes at the age of 10. Eye Specialist Drt. Abdus Samad at Karmirhath Hospital cured her eye problems without resorting to surgery. Chitra is now fully cured.
Ibrahim, 70 years old is a resident of Masterpara in Gaibandha town. He is engaged in Agriculture profession. He developed problems in his eyes for long time. For long, doctors could not diagnose his eye problems. About one year ago, Ibrahim came to Karmirhath hospital. Dr. Abdus Samad, a retired Eye Specialist examined Ibrahim’s eyes. After a number of tests, Dr. Samad came to conclusion that Ibrahim has been suffering from Glaucoma, an eye disease related to pressure on eyes. It’s a complicated eye disease very difficult to cure. However, doctor has suggested some medicine that may give some relief to his eyes, if not cure.
Free treatment were given to both the patients. This has been possible due to liberal donations from GlobalGiving.
