Vasudha has successfully conducted its first eye camp on July 6th 2019, at Ulavapadu GVR Government Junior College. This camp is conducted in collaboration with Sankara Eye Hospital, Guntur and District Blindness Control Society (DBCS), Ongole. In preparation for the camp, Vasudha campaigned in all the villages of Ulavapadu Mandal by announcing and going around in an auto.
On the day of the camp, villagers have started showing up from 9.00 am onwards. A total of 176 patients have been registered at the camp and tests have been conducted by Sankara Eye Hospital staff.
Among the patients tested, 77 patients have been found to require a surgery to correct their eye sight of which 5 patients are unfit to undergo the surgery and 11 patients are not in a position to undergo the surgery. 61 patients have been advised to come to the same camp site on 8th July at 4 p.m to be picked up by Sankara Eye Hospital vehicle. After the surgery, patients will be dropped at the same camp site and will be instructed to follow strict after surgery care. A month later on August 9th, Sankara Eye Hospital will be conducting reflection tests as post surgery procedure to make sure patients are progressing well with their procedure. Vasudha volunteer team worked hard to make this possible, in spite of the hot temperatures prevailing in the area.
Vasudha volunteer team distributed curd rice for the patients that stayed beyond the lunch time.
Local media provided a good coverage of the event conducted by Vasudha.
