एच व्ही देसाई हॉस्पिटल व #KJIDF यांच्या संयुक्त विद्यमाने मधुमेहींचे डोळे तपासण्यासाठी कर्जत शहरातील व्हीजन सेंटर येथे बसवण्यात आलेल्या अत्याधुनिक Fundus Machine चे उद्घाटन केले. या मशीनच्या माध्यमातून मधुमेहींच्या डोळ्याच्या पडद्यावरती आलेले पांढरे स्पॉट, मोतीबिंदू होण्यापूर्वीची स्थिती ज्यामुळे डोळा निकामी होऊ शकतो या सर्व प्रकारच्या तपासण्या अत्यल्प दरात केल्या जाणार आहेत. आत्तापर्यंत डोळ्यांच्या बाबतीत आपण हजारो लोकांना मदत केली असून ३००० नागरिकांच्या डोळ्यांचे मोतीबिंदू ऑपरेशन केले आहेत.
Happy to see 3nethra aberro used for screening in Arunachal.
