Doctors gave free eye surgery to 38 poor patients at a hospital on Thursday. The patients came from different parts of Bangladesh and could not afford to pay for the operations. Twenty-two women and sixteen men had their eyesight problems fixed during the day. Four skilled doctors worked together to help these people see better again.
The hospital sits on Sabrina Sobhan Road and teams up with charity groups to help needy patients. Professor Md Saleh Ahmed runs the program and travels around the country setting up medical camps. His team has already helped over 3,600 patients through these free surgery events. The doctors fix cataracts, blocked tear ducts, and other eye problems that make people go blind.
These particular patients came from a medical camp held last November at a women's college in Kushtia. Over 1,200 people showed up for free eye checkups at that event. Doctors picked 150 patients who needed surgery right away. The 38 people who got operations on Thursday were part of the second group selected from that camp.
Mohammad Ahsan Habib works at the hospital and explains how the charity program operates. The hospital and its partner organizations have been running these free surgery camps for many years. They want to make sure poor people can get the medical care they need to see properly again.
