Community Service
GAUHATI LIONS EYE HOSPITAL is the temple of service of Lions Club of Gauhati and has been a landmark project by which our services have been acknowledged in the society since 1997.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAM
Service to humanity is the motto for LIONS and making our eye care facilities available across all sections of the society is the ultimate motive of Gauhati Lions Eye Hospital. It was earlier observed that people living in the major towns in our state have access to medical treatment but the same is not applicable to a majority of the people in the rural areas. Moreover, a majority of the rural people diagnosed for treatment cannot afford the cost of treatment because of which they continue to suffer and live in their world of darkness.
Lions Club of Gauhati had established GAUHATI LIONS EYE HOSPITAL to serve the under privileged people who did not have access or could not afford the cost of their eye care treatment. To drive this initiative, we have set up a Community Outreach team and their prime focus is to conduct free eye screening camps in the rural areas in association with the local authorities and organisations and see that the cataract patients detected are operated and vision restored so that they can lead a peaceful life.

COMMUNITY EYE SCREENING CAMPS
With requisite permission from authorities concerned, the free eye screening camps are held at the identified locations with local help wherein apart from cataract detection, blood pressure as well as blood sugar are also checked. Under the National Programme for Control of Blindness scheme, our Hospital has been authorised by the Govt of India to fight blindness and the authorities in the various districts are extending full co-operation and help in our journey.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS
The Govt of India through their DBCS programme fund a major portion of our community service project, but our endeavour to provide point to point service to our needy brethren in the society entails a lot of expenditure on logistics and infrastructure. We are very fortunate that members from the society have always come forward to support us whenever required, because of whom we have been able to serve the needy patients to their satisfaction. We are proud to state that most of the local organisations in the city have been associated with our hospital in some form or the other, be it for conducting eye screening camps or for treatment of poor patients.
