Narsingh Sahu a 60 year farmer was jumping with joy when he heard the news that Government doctors have set up a camp on the outskirts of his village. He was told that the doctors were providing free cataract surgery. His delight soon turned into his worst nightmare when the FOC surgery clouded his left eye with a painful blinding infection, which may eventually leave him with permanent blindness.
It was only last year when the farmer spent Rs. 7000 at a private eyes clinic.
The camp setup by the Government doctors on September 29th witnessed as many as 300 patients paying a visit to get their surgeries done free of cost. Other then Narsingh Sahu, 45 other patients suffered the same fate and are now facing the prospects of living a blind life.
Lalmati Gaur, a 65 year old woman told the media “Each doctor was operating three patients at a time. After the surgery was over, we were given no instructions on post operative care”
Another person Vishal Singh, whose father went for the surgery, said “The place was jam packed. Patients were lying on the floor, in conditions of absolute filth,”
It has also been reported that the camp held at Balod, in Chhattisgarh’s Durg district, was not properly equipped to handle the patients, with only four visiting doctors from the district headquarters.
