PROGRAMMES

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]The Department has also collaborated with the Mini Health Centres operated in collaboration with the VHS-MAC Institute of Community Health. This made a noticeable impact on the curable blind people of the community and set a benchmark for other organisations to follow. WHO launched cataract surgery with IOL implantation much later, which has since been accepted as the method of choice by the Central and State Government. This programme has been the flagship programme done in association with the Sathya Sai Samithi for more than 15 years and is still an on-going programme.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]
