How a camp is organized

The hospital maintains a comprehensive database providing information on target areas. The Advanced Strategy (Camp) Unit maintains close cooperation with institutions and local authorities in various towns and villages. Thanks to this network, a strategic location is identified and its demographics analysed. Camps are organized within a radius of 30 to 200 kilometres (10–125 miles). As most of our camps are run with the support of sponsors, propaganda, and arrangements for the day of the camp are made by our sponsors. On the day of the camp, a team of doctors, refractors, and ophthalmic assistants visit the campsite. Cataract patients are selected and transported to the hospital. During their stay, food, accommodation, surgical fees, medication, and transport are provided free of charge. For affluent patients from rural areas who pass through the camps and require more sophisticated procedures such as Phaco, special packages are offered at advantageous conditions.
