Eye Care Activities |

Health care is one of the main areas of priority for Kutch Vikas
Trust. The health scenario in Kutch District is not encouraging
as a whole. With an aim to provide quality medical and health
care to the people in the villages around, K. V. T. has
undertaken many programmes. Eye related problems are
steadily on the rise in this part of the country. And so, eye care
activities are a priority with, all the means of eye health and eye

problems, and the different OPD’s at different cities and towns
cater to the people at their doorstep. On an average we conduct
300 surgeries per month. And operations go up every year, with
more outreach camps. |
