With the holding of our 10th Eye camp at Haripur Union Parishad Office in Haripur Upazilla of Thakurgaon district on 20/04/2024, SHEBA and its Partner in Bangladesh Alternative Approach have reached a milestone.

An awareness campaign was conducted before the camp that included miking, leaflet distribution, banner installation and community meeting to raise awareness of vision impairing eye conditions and about the upcoming Eye camp.

Like in our previous camps, this camp's activities included screening patients, prescription, referral, advice, distribution of corrective lenses and selecting patients for cataract surgery – all free of cost.

The number of patients consulted in this camp: 124
Corrective lenses distributed: 40 pairs
The number of patients selected for cataract surgery: 20
