The Change: Outreach Activities Conducted in Western Region of Nepal

This case study focuses on comprehensive eye care outreach activities carried out across the Western Region of Nepal. The program combined screening camps, surgical interventions, and community education to address the high incidence of preventable blindness in the region. Outreach teams collaborated with local health workers and schools to identify patients in need of treatment, provide cataract and minor eye surgeries, and deliver educational workshops on eye care. The initiative created measurable improvements in vision restoration and community awareness, demonstrating the transformative potential of coordinated outreach programs.

Impact:

• Screened over 3,000 individuals across multiple districts.

• Provided free or subsidized surgeries for cataracts and other treatable conditions.

• Increased school-based eye health education, reducing the long-term risk of vision loss.
