 Bhoruka Netralaya was opened on 17th April 2008. The first batch of
22 patients picked up from camp underwent cataract surgery. Health is yet another major
concern of the rural people. Because of poor delivery system the
government's health schemes fail to reach the beneficiaries. Thus NGOs
have greater role to play in creating healthy environment in the villages.Bhourka conducts periodical health check up camps such as Eye check-up, cancer detection, gynecology pediatric camps and general health check-up. Camps are conducted in all the places and patients referred to nearby specialty hospitals. This is to bring in general awareness about health & health system available.  In Hemmige the villagers are provided smokless choolas and training is
given in maintaining health and hygiene in the villages, with help of
Zilla Panchayat. The trust has adopted Nilsoge village with a view to
making it a model village in terms of sanitation health & hygiene. This
will be replicated in other places.Eye Hospital
 The Vikassanum Education and Welfare Trust has drawn an ambitious project
of eye hospital in Gulburga. The place was chosen after a study report
submitted by Institute of Health Management and Research, Bangalore.
Initially hospital will cater to needs of 2000 cataract operations per
year and
move on to 10000 operations per year including more complicated ones, in five years. The hospital is expected to be operational by mid 2007. |
