Community Health Partnership, Predominantly Eye Health

As part of its commitment towards the healthcare sector of the country, MTB Foundation organized ‘Community Health Partnership, Predominantly Eye Health’ with Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital in different regions of Rajshahi. A large number of underserved people were provided with basic healthcare facilities including eye screening, medicine supply, distribution of spectacles and conducting surgeries like cataract, pterygium, Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and Dual-clutch Transmission (DCT).
