 ICARE has 15 Peripheral Centers in the National Capital Region servicing rural areas in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and the underprivileged population living in the Delhi slums. Close interaction is maintained with the local community leaders to ensure smooth running of the peripheral centers.
Over 1 lakh persons have been screened for a wide variety of ophthalmic disorders at the Peripheral Centers in the year 2009 – 2010. Surgical services have also been provided to over 8,169 patients.
Mega Camps
In addition to the 15 regular centers, ICARE also provides ophthalmic services at Mega Camps with the blessings of Sant Rajinder Singh ji Maharaj organized by Sawan Kripal Ruhani Mission held in February and September every year at Kripal Bagh, Delhi and at NTPC, Dadri, Uttar Pradesh.
We have been a part of these mega camps since the past 8 years. On an average, 500 - 1000 patients are screened at these mega camps. Surgical services have been provided to 1238 patients in 2009 – 2010.
Secondary Eyecare Centre
Our effort has always been to provide quality ophthalmic services to those in need. In an attempt to further expand the reach of our services, we have established a well equipped Secondary Eyecare centre at Khurja in Uttar Pradesh in association with the Rotary Club of Khurja. Dayawati Mool Chand Netrachikitsalaya, Khurja, started functioning from September 2009. Together with daily OPD services, the center has a fully functional Operation Theatre along with an optical shop and a pharmacy. Screening camps are regularly organized within a radius of 100 kilometers around Khurja.
Till March end 2010, we have examined over 4500 patients and operated upon 1386 patients. |
