EYE CAMP

An outreach eye camp was successfully organized for the Tribal People in Yercaud at the Government Higher Secondary School on the 13th of August. The camp, which ran from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, was conducted through a collaborative effort between SPS India Foundation, DFT, Annapurna Medical College and Hospital, and the Rotary Club of Yercaud.

In the lead-up to the camp, we engaged in a week-long preparation phase that involved distributing informative pamphlets and spreading the word across all nearby villages. This proactive approach ensured that the Tribal community was well-informed and ready to benefit from the camp’s services.

The camp itself saw the participation of approximately 80 individuals from the Tribal community. Among them, 12 individuals were identified for further medical attention and were subsequently transported to the hospital for free cataract surgery. The beneficiaries of the camp expressed their profound appreciation for this valuable intervention, underscoring how it had positively impacted their lives.

The joint efforts of SPS India Foundation, DFT, Annapurna Medical College and Hospital, and the Rotary Club of Yercaud culminated in a successful event that brought essential eye care services to the Tribal People of Yercaud. The spirit of collaboration and compassion shone through, leaving a lasting impression of care and support within the community.
