Since Rajasthan's desert zone has
extremely high incidence of curable blindness with very
high backlog, the Trust is organizing fortnightly
Panchayat samiti wise free eye camps in the districts of
Jalore, Barmer, Nagaur, Jaiselmer, Banswara, Dungarpur
and Jaipur from September to April to make this area as
Cataract free zone.
Up till now 86 camps have been organized which are
preceded by extensive door-to-door publicity. So far as
many as 22088 people have got their eyes checked in the
camps and 6560 patients have been operated for cataract
etc.
Kuhad Trust provides free medicines and lenses to the
eligible patients. It also provides spectacles to them.
Free food is provided to both the patient and his
attendant. Free stay is arranged for the patients and
their attendants. The Trust also reimburses
transportation charges to the operated patients both
during the camp & in the subsequent follow up camps. The
Trust is also giving gifts to randomly selected patients
through lottery.
To encourage the government field staff (ANMs etc), the
Trust is giving an award to 3 best performing staff
members who motivated maximum number of patients to come
to the camp.
The Trust ensures highest quality norms while
discharging its duties.
