Jaranwalla Surgical Eye Camp – HUGE Success

PakTrust in collaboration with POBTrust organised a Surgical Eye Camp at Hamida Yousaf Welfare Hospital in Jaranwalla, near Faisalabad on 28, 29 and 30th October 2011. The camp was a major success with 1370 patients registered for check-ups, around 400 were identified for operations and eventually 385 patients were operated for cataract surgery over a marathon 3 day period. Fabulous success and an enormous outcome, big well done to POB Technical Staff, POB Surgeons and Local volunteers for making this happen.

PakTrust delegation led by Sajid Ramzan and Faisal Shahzad set out on 6 hour drive each way to spend a day at the camp. Faisal Shazad commented, “we were absolutely thrilled to attend this eye camp, though the journey was long and tiring, the experience and time spent with patients and hearing their prayers was worth every second. We wish and pray for quick recovery for all the patients”.
