09  June  2023, Jasidih(Deoghar, Jharkhand): A new milestone in eye healthcare services was achieved today with the inauguration of Drishti Kendra, a Vision Center, in Jasidih, a satellite town of Deoghar, Jharkhand. The center, operated by the Vimla Ramkrishna Bajaj Eye Hospital (VRBEH) under the auspices of NBJK, aims to address the lack of accessible eye care services in the area.

The grand opening ceremony was graced by the esteemed presence of Dr. Yugal Kishor Choudhary, the Civil Surgeon of Deoghar district, who welcomed this commendable initiative. Expressing his appreciation, Dr. Choudhary acknowledged the pressing need for eye healthcare in the region and anticipated significant benefits for the local community.

Mr. Anand Abhinav, Program Director of NBJK, extended a warm welcome to the chief guest and other attendees. He emphasized the organization’s commitment to ensuring convenient eye care services for the general public. Notably, the Drishti Kendra has received support from the Seva Foundation, USA. As an initial step, all patients visiting the center will be provided with free eye checkups and glasses frames.

Additionally, Mr. Abhinav outlined the center’s commitment to assisting financially disadvantaged individuals. For those suffering from cataracts or other eye conditions requiring surgery, VRBEH will offer treatment either free of charge or at subsidized rates. To further extend their reach, competent staff members from the Drishti Kendra will also visit households to provide doorstep eye checkup facilities.

The inauguration ceremony witnessed the presence and active participation of Mr. Jitendra Kumar, Manager at VRBEH, Mr. Abhishek Anand from the Marketing team, and other dedicated individuals who contributed to the success of the event.
