Eye Camp in Quadian Gurdaspur 24th-27th February 2012


A Successful EYE CAMP IN QUADIAN GURDASPUR - 24th -27th February 2012 
The eye camp had 800 people turned up at the hospital; each one was checked and received medical attention. Each patient received free medication advice and eye drops by the hospital staff. 
I was over whelmed to see the number of people who turned up for support.  Around 80 required operations of cataract but 30 required further treatments due to unstable diabetes and high blood pressure to avoid complications during operation.
The medical team was very experienced, running such eye camps for over 18 years for Dr B S Bhatia. The team continued to work very hard for 3 days and performed 50 successful operations and 30 pending at a later stage.
This was a free Eye camp supported by Coventry Godiva Lions Club; it was also attended by the Lord Mayor of Coventry Cllr Kieran Mullhall and his daughter Lady Mayoress and his secretary, and Cllr H S Sembi.
