RCNS has just completed a $103,000 Rotary Global Grant called Prevention of Retinopathy for Premature Babies in Moradabad India. The project provides the funding for a Bolero van housing equipment for a specialised mobile clinic and includes an Alcon Purepoint Laser for treatment and a compact, portable, and easy-to-use wide-field digital imaging system is used for the photo documentation of pediatric ocular diseases that manifest in an infant’s eyes. The mobile clinic allows medical staff to travel to hospitals that provide screening and care to premature babies. Premature babies need to be screened for Retinopathy within two weeks of birth so that they can be treated. Untreated premature babies with the condition can go blind.
Jim Dawson of RCNS said that “this project has been in the works for a couple of years and we are grateful of the support from RC Brantford Sunrise and RC Simcoe who have been long time supporters of Operation Eyesight projects”. The project, which is led by Rotary Club of Moradabad East, is now complete with the van in place, the equipment installed in the van and is now being used to screen and treat patients.
