04 July 2024, Deoghar: During May and June 2024, NBJK’s Vimla Ramkrishna Bajaj Eye Hospital, Deoghar, organized 41 outreach eye screening camps across villages of Giridih Sadar, Jamua, Birni, Deoghar Sadar, Mohanpur, Devipur, and Sarwan blocks in Giridih & Deoghar districts, Jharkhand.
These camps served 773 patients, identifying 224 cataract cases, 14 pterygium cases, and 347 refractive error cases. Additionally, 77 patients received medicines, and 55 others were referred to the base hospital for further care.
Supported by Sightsavers India, Vision Foundation of India, and Seva Foundation, this initiative ensures free eye screenings and cataract surgeries. All identified patients will receive comprehensive care, including transportation, food, accommodation, and pre-post surgery medicines, at the Vimla Ramkrishna Bajaj Eye Hospital.
