Camp was held at palghar in January 2002. Palghar is a very
small village situated in Maharashtra and is approximately
2,50,000 people. The local people are very poor.
The patients were kept for 4 days. On the second day the patients
are operated upon by a team of qualified doctors from JJ Group
of Hospitals under the Leadership of
T P Lahane, Head of the Ophthalmology department.
On all these days the patients were provided with all the
meals. After the camp we had 3 follow ups. At the final check
up we provided the patients with free numbered glasses. |
