Free Eye Treatment Camp Benefits 954 People in Tanahun
DAMAULI (Tanahun), October 11 — A total of 954 people have benefited from a free eye treatment camp recently conducted in the Rishing Rural Municipality of Tanahun district.
The camp was organized through the joint collaboration of the Nepal Netra Jyoti Sangh, Bharatpur Eye Hospital, the Inclusive Society program under the National Association of the Blind, and Rishing Rural Municipality.
Key Highlights of the Camp:
- Mobile Eye Camps: Conducted across all wards of the rural municipality from October 17 to 21.
- Free Cataract Surgery Camp: Held at the Kotdarbar Health Post on October 23 and 24.
- General Examination & Treatment: Out of the 954 total beneficiaries, 576 individuals received general eye check-ups and treatment for various vision-related issues.
- Distribution of Eyeglasses: Free spectacles were distributed to 101 people suffering from near-vision problems.
- Cataract Surgeries: Free surgeries were successfully performed for 103 individuals suffering from cataracts, according to Anil Amgai, Chief Administrative Officer of the rural municipality.
Easing Access to Healthcare
The camps were specifically organized to target citizens who find it difficult to visit established health facilities due to economic and geographical challenges.
Local authorities noted that delivering these services directly at the local level—including eye examinations, treatment, distribution of glasses, and cataract surgery—has significantly enhanced public access to healthcare while saving valuable time and financial resources for economically disadvantaged residents.
