Mobile Eye Health Program Successfully Completed (26–28 February 2026)
From 26th to 28th February 2026, a three-day Mobile Eye Health Program was successfully conducted at DCWC Community Hospital. The program was organized in collaboration with Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, Chaurideurali Rural Municipality, and with the valuable support of Good Vision Nepal.
The program was inaugurated by the hospital’s Management Manager, Tula Bahadur Lama, who warmly welcomed the visiting eye care team from Tilganga and highlighted the importance of community-based eye health services, especially for people living in rural areas where access to specialized care can be limited.
During the three-day outreach program, 156 community members received eye care services. Among them, 94 were women and 62 were men, showing strong participation from the local community. After detailed eye examinations, 48 individuals received prescription power glasses according to their vision needs.
The screening also identified 6 patients suffering from cataracts, a common eye condition that causes cloudy or blurred vision. Plans are already being made to support these patients with simple cataract surgery in the near future, so they can regain clear vision and improve their daily quality of life.
Programs like this play an important role in raising awareness about eye health, early detection of eye diseases, and ensuring that people in rural communities receive timely care.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the dedicated team from Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology, including:
Kamana Neupane, Program Officer
Pramila Dangaura, Ophthalmic Assistant
Khushbu Yadav, Ophthalmic Assistant
Dawa Lopchan, Optical Dispenser
We would also like to extend special thanks to Tej Bahadur Ghising, Chaurideurali Gaupalika health Department Incharge for his continuous coordination and support.
This program would not have been possible without the cooperation of the DCWC Community Hospital Management, committee members, local school teachers, students, health post staff, community members, and the dedicated employees of DCWC Community Hospital. Your collective effort and commitment made this program meaningful and successful.
Finally, we sincerely request Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology and Chaurideurali Rural Municipality to continue their valuable collaboration in the coming days. With continued partnership and support, we hope to organize more community health programs and ensure that quality eye care reaches everyone who needs it.
