Blindness
in India is a very acute problem. Every third blind in the
world is Indian and there are only about 14,000 ophthalmologists
in India to tackle the problems of the eye. The number of
patients is more compared to the ophthalmologist available
so more number of ophthalmologists are required who can treat
these patients with modern preventive and curative measures.
Shri Ganapati Netralaya was started with an objective
of providing the best possible eye-care services in the region,
particularly to the rural population, by the most economical
methods, with most modern & state of the art technology
directed towards prevention, diagnosis and treatment, to all
sections of society irrespective of caste, creed or economic
considerations.
The other objective being training of the ophthalmologist
who have passed their post graduation and awarding them fellowships
in general ophthalmology so that they can setup their own
hospitals and utilize the teaching for the benefit of the
needy patients. The new leap today is in the making of new
ophthalmologist by providing them DNB training in ophthalmology.
There
are certain diseases for which treatment is still in a preliminary
stage. Research facilities are available so that certain diseases
can be investigated.
