35th Free Surgical Eye Camp
35th Free Surgical Eye Camp
It was a matter of great pleasure to all of us as members that Sabha organized its 35th Free Surgical Eye Camp with the help of the Palampur Rotary Eye Foundation at Village Khaddar, Tehsil Lad-Bharol, Distt. Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. It was held from November 7th, to November 9th, 2015. [Screening, surgery and post-operative examination and discharge respectively].
The camp this year was sponsored by Sh. KK Saklani, leading exporter of stitched clothes, resident of Tehsil Lad-Bharol, in loving memory of his brother Sh. Madan Lal.
The people [especially elder ones] in general were notified and requested to make good use of our free services. Members of the Sabha were present at the location of the camp well in advance to organize and manage things effectively. On appeal of Sh. Kanshi Ram Verma, President and Sh.Kishorie Lal Sharma on behalf of Sabha, the general public suffering from eyes ailment joined the venue and saw the doctors and made the event a grand success.
We feel immense pleasure in informing the general public at large that so far more than 22,000 people have been benefited from our camps. 2650 cataract operations of very poor people have been successfully done free of cost with joint efforts of our sabha members, our sponsors, patrons, doners, our numerous advertisers and local voluenteers. Besides free medicines to all the patients, 5100 pairs of eye-sight spectacles to the identified patients have been distributed so far free of cost.
We would also like to inform you that the Sabha has a plan to hold next such camp at Baldwara, Distt. Mandi with the financial help of Smt. Veena Chandel in the 2nd week of October, 2016. Sabha will inform the general public about the exact dates through our website and other mediums. We request everyone to join hands and make the upcoming camp even more successful.
