Description
Despite the magnitude of the problem of avoidable blindness in developing countries, studies have shown that only a small percentage of the people needing cataract surgery or other treatment actually seek it. Moreover, eye care in the developing world still suffers from:
- Financial and logical barriers to access
- Low patient awareness of services available
- Low doctor/patient ratio
In other words, it is necessary to reach out to potential patients the “unreached” in order to provide their services to the people who need them most.
Community outreach camps reach out to people who are suffering from poor vision but are not able to have access to quality eye care – The camps take place in an area identified by social workers. These patients are examined and brought to the hospital for any further treatment that they might require.
