Free Eye Treatment Patients’ Ward at Alakh Nayan Mandir Eye Institute
In a study conducted by Ernst & Young, by the end of 2025, India will need 175 million additional beds. This can overwhelm anyone, but the fact is 80% of patients can avoid suffering if provided with preventive health care. We have taken the first small step and have joined hands with one of India’s most considerate eye institute: Alakh Nayan Mandir in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.
Alakh Nayan Mandir is a public charitable trust established in 1997 with a mission to provide quality eye care to all segments of society, especially those who are deprived of treatment due to lack of funds. Their team has worked tirelessly to provide free and subsidized treatment to thousands of people and rendering outreach ophthalmic services in remote villages.
They have done almost 100,000 operations (60% of which were free), over 941,000 sight-restoring treatments (40% of which were free), and 3,400 eye check-up camps in and around areas of Udaipur for blindness prevention and sight restoration.
Our aim was to reinforce the trust’s mission and developed a Patient’s Ward in the region to provide world-class eye-care for those in need. Thanks to your donations we were able to do just that by supporting the development of a new patient’s ward spread over 2,500 square feet with 48 beds, a nursing care station, and a patient examination room along with the Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation.
