In accordance with the vision of Guru Vajradhara H.H. the 12th Chamgon Kenting Tai Situpa, and with permission from the Government of Himachal Pradesh Ministry of Health, free eye camps are organized every year at different locations in the Himalayan region by Palpung Munishasan Dharma Chakra Sangh.
This year, Lama Tashi Dhondup, the head of the monastic seat’s Health Centre, along with a complete medical team from the Rotary Eye Hospital in Maranda, Palampur, headed by specialist eye surgeons Dr Rohit Sharma and Dr Ashish Gupta, travelled to Chango, Kinnaur, where the free surgical eye camp was held from June 1 to 3, 2022.
The team checked a total of about 600 people from the Chango area as well as the entire Upper Kinnaur region for eye diseases and distributed free medicines. 34 patients required eye surgery and 310 received appropriate eyeglasses. In this way, a large number of local villagers with various vision-related problems affecting the quality of their lives were able to receive necessary treatment.
