Free Eye Screening and Cataract Surgery Camp

A week-long Free Eye Screening and Cataract Surgery Camp held from December 3–7, 2025, at Shree Panchakanya Secondary School has provided critical eye care services to residents of remote villages in Indrasarowar Rural Municipality. The camp recorded more than 350 screenings and successfully completed 59 cataract surgeries, offering life-changing treatment to individuals who often lack access to specialized medical services.
Beneficiaries from distant settlements traveled to the site for free eye check-ups, pre-operative assessments, surgeries, and follow-up care. Many participants regained vision that had been lost for years, marking the initiative as a significant boost to community health. The event highlighted the Rotary theme “Unite for Good,” showcasing the impact of coordinated humanitarian service.
The camp was made possible through a collaboration between multiple partners, including technical support from Hetauda Community Eye Hospital, local coordination from Indrasarowar Rural Municipality, and global backing from the Rotary Clubs of Tasmania and Mr. David Yaxley of Australia. The Rotary Club of Kathmandu Hetauda led the initiative alongside Rotary Club of Kathmandu and other thirteen Rotary Clubs, emphasizing their shared commitment to improving lives in rural Nepal. The cost of the project was Nrs. 421,325.
