Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
The impact is immense. The people who got back their eye sights following surgery become productive immediately to their families and the society, besides the psychological impact on their kids and wives whom they saw after few years of blindness.
Project Message
I am impressed with the services of Karmirhath Hospital at its Eye, Diabetes and Mothers Care departments. They have other humanitarian projects - Anti-Dowry and Free Distribution of Wheelchairs.
