More than 250 eye patients have received free eye care in Thakurgaon.
Thakurgaon Government Boys High School SSC-95 batch students' organization 'Friends Group' organized a free eye examination and cataract operation camp yesterday at Thakurgaon Government Boys High School from morning to afternoon. More than two and a half hundred patients with various problems underwent eye examination. Of these, 55 patients were admitted to the eye hospital for cataract and other operations.
Sagir Ali, president of Friends Group, said that we have organized this eye camp with the funding of Love Share BD (US). We have taken this initiative so that especially the poor patients who cannot afford eye treatment, can get healthy by getting free medical services.
One of the coordinators of Friends Group, Kofil Uddin Ahmad, said that we are providing hospital admission, accommodation, food, operation, necessary medicine and even car rental to reach the patients who will undergo cataract surgery. Previously, we have provided eye care to more than three hundred patients through a camp at Golapganj, Birganj, Pasarwati Dinajpur district. We have been able to provide this service with the technical support of Thakurgaon Rural Eye Hospital.
