Project Description Region: Asia Country: India Location: Patna Total Budget: $54,500 Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment Millions of people lose their eyesight due to negligence or ignorance which can be prevented with simple eye tests and treatment. To help the rural population which cannot reach an ophthalmologist, we want to launch an ophthalmic van equipped with all modern equipment. This air-conditioned unit will go to interior regions to treat underprivileged people. From this van an ophthalmologist can do detailed eye check-up for eye diseases relating to retina, cornea, vision problems, etc. Primary Host Partner District: 3250 Rotary Club of: Pataliputra Primary Contact: Bipin Chachan Email: bipinchachan@gmail.com Primary International Partner District: 5300 Rotary Club of: Las Vegas WON Primary Contact: Chehab Elawar Email: shabdg201415@gmail.com Project Status Need $9,400 This project needs to receive some pledges to go to the next level.
