Training upon Eye Health Care

28 February 2022, Bodhgaya (Gaya): With support of Sightsavers and Jeevika, LNJP Eye Hospital-Kajha has organized one day training upon Eye Health Care for Community Mobilizers & Community Nutrition Resource Persons. Around 100 CMs & CNRPs from Mohanpur, Dobhi and Bodhgaya blocks have participated in this event.

Dr. Iftekhar Alam has facilitated the training while Ms Pooja Garg (District Co-ordinator, Sightsavers) played important role in coordination. They disseminated basic information about preventive-curative measures for eye care in villages and encouraged the trainees to access people in need of eye health care as well as PwDs groups.

Dr. Alam focused upon treatment of Cataract, Glaucoma and Refractive Errors specifically to minimize the cases of avoidable blindness. He suggested the participants to send such concerned patients to nearby health centers and LNJPEH-Kajha as the eye hospital provides a wide range of services including free of cost or subsidized surgery facility for helpless persons, Ayushman card holders and general people.

Md. Nayeem (Asst. Manager, LBHC) and Ms Divya Sinha (LNJPEH-Kajha) have assisted to arrange the affair.
