Since its inception, PBMA’s H. V. Desai Eye Hospital has worked with the core value of ‘We reach out and care’. This kind of an approach, is very important, as most of the avoidable blindness is seen in rural, remote areas among very poor population and especially among females. We cover following districts with our reach out program, with active support from the community, Government Ophthalmic officers and other NGO’s.
