Hithaishi Charitable Trust, in collaboration with Manjunatha Nethralaya, is organizing Community Eye Screening Camps in the North and North West Bangalore regions. These camps are focused on providing essential eye care services to residents within a 2-5 km radius of Manjunatha Nethralaya, located on Hesaraghatta Main Road. Our goal is to make eye care accessible and convenient for everyone in the community.

Bringing Eye Care to Your Doorstep

• Apartments: We organize eye screening camps within residential communities, making it easy for residents to get their eyes checked without traveling far. The camps can be set up in the common areas of apartments where residents can gather comfortably.

• Parks: For those who prefer an open environment, our camps can also be held in local parks. This setting allows us to reach the general public and provide screenings in a relaxed, outdoor environment.

How We Make It Happen

• Connecting with Communities: We work closely with local coordinators who help us connect with apartment associations and park management. These coordinators are essential in securing locations for our camps and promoting the service within their communities.

• Promotion and Setup: Once a location is confirmed, we collaborate with the local coordinators to spread the word and ensure that as many residents as possible can benefit from the screening camp.

Follow-Up for Comprehensive Treatment

• Referral to Hospital: After the initial screening, any individuals identified with eye conditions requiring further attention are referred to Manjunatha Nethralaya. Our hospital provides a full range of eye care services to ensure that patients receive the necessary treatment.

• Subsidized Treatment: We offer subsidized treatment options for those identified during the screening camps. This ensures that everyone has access to the care they need.

• Support for Economically Disadvantaged Patients: For those who are economically disadvantaged, we can raise funds to offer free treatment, subject to the availability of funds for specific conditions.

Hithaishi Charitable Trust, in partnership with Manjunatha Nethralaya, is dedicated to safeguarding the vision of the next generation. We are conducting School Eye Screening Camps across schools located within a 5-7 km radius of Manjunatha Nethralaya on Hesaraghatta Main Road. These camps are designed to detect and address vision issues early, ensuring that children have the best possible chance for academic success and overall well-being.

Bringing Eye Care to Schools

• Description: Our team of trained eye care professionals will visit schools in the specified area to conduct comprehensive eye screenings. These screenings are essential in identifying common vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, which, if left untreated, can significantly impact a child's learning and development.
• School Involvement: We work closely with school administrators and local coordinators to schedule and promote these camps, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to participate. The screening process is quick, non-invasive, and designed to be child-friendly.

Connecting Students with Quality Eye Care

• Description: Students who require further examination or treatment will be referred to Manjunatha Nethralaya for continued care. We provide subsidized treatment for those identified during the screening camp. For students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, we can arrange for free treatment through fundraising efforts, subject to the availability of funds for specific conditions.

• Hospital Care: Manjunatha Nethralaya offers state-of-the-art eye care services, ensuring that every child receives the best possible treatment. Our commitment is to provide continued support until their vision issues are fully addressed.
  

At Hithaishi Charitable Trust, we believe that education is the foundation of prevention. Our Public Awareness Campaigns on Eye Care are designed to inform and empower key influencers in the community—such as the general public, school teachers, and other community leaders—about preventable eye diseases and best practices for maintaining eye health, especially in today’s digital age where prolonged computer use is common.

Empowering the Public and Educators

• Description: Our educative programs are tailored to reach those who can make the most significant impact on community health. We conduct informative sessions on preventable eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, emphasizing the importance of early detection and regular eye check-ups.

• Focus on Digital Eye Strain: In today's digital world, prolonged computer and screen time can lead to digital eye strain. Our programs offer practical advice and best practices for reducing eye strain, including the 20-20-20 rule, proper lighting, and screen positioning.

Partnering to Expand Our Reach

• Description: To maximize the impact of our public awareness campaigns, we collaborate with other NGOs who share our commitment to promoting health. These partnerships enable us to organize and coordinate educational events in schools, villages, and urban communities. Other NGOs help us by coordinating logistics, gathering participants, and providing the necessary infrastructure to reach a broader audience.

• Event Coordination: Together, we host workshops, seminars, and health camps where we educate participants about eye health, preventive measures, and the importance of timely treatment. These events are essential for spreading awareness in areas where access to eye care is limited.
  

Hithaishi Charitable Trust recognizes the importance of eye health in maintaining productivity and overall well-being in the workplace. Our Wellness Programs for Preventable Eye Diseases are specifically designed to bring essential eye care services directly to corporate and industrial premises. These programs aim to prevent common eye diseases through early detection and education, ensuring that employees receive the care they need without leaving their place of work.

Convenient Eye Care for Employees

• Description: Our team of eye care professionals will set up comprehensive eye screening camps at corporate offices and industrial sites. These screenings are designed to identify common eye problems such as refractive errors, digital eye strain, and other preventable eye diseases. By offering these services on-site, we eliminate the need for employees to take time off work to seek care, making it easier for them to prioritize their eye health.

• Customized for the Workplace: We tailor our screening process to fit the specific needs of corporate and industrial environments, ensuring minimal disruption to daily operations. The screenings are quick, non-invasive, and can be conducted during work hours, making it convenient for employees to participate.

Promoting Eye Health in the Workplace

Our experts share best practices, including ergonomic tips for workstation setup, proper lighting, and techniques to reduce eye strain.

• Engaging Employees: These sessions are interactive, allowing employees to ask questions and receive personalized advice. We also distribute informational materials that employees can take home, further reinforcing the importance of eye health.
  

Hithaishi Charitable Trust is committed to ensuring that patients have a voice in their healthcare journey. Our Patient Advocacy & Support Services are designed to promote NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) hospitals by helping patients clarify their concerns and navigate their treatment in alignment with NABH standards. By fostering a strong relationship between the patient community and healthcare providers, we aim to enhance transparency, improve communication, and address patient concerns systematically.

Standardizing Patient Advocacy Practices

• Description: To ensure the effective operation of PACs, we assist hospitals in drafting comprehensive manuals and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). These documents outline the roles and responsibilities of council members, meeting protocols, and methods for addressing patient concerns.

• Monthly Meetings: We also help organize and structure monthly PAC meetings, encouraging active participation from patients and the public. These meetings provide a platform for discussing common concerns, sharing feedback, and collaboratively finding solutions to improve patient care.

Empowering Patients with Information and Resources

• Description: Our services extend beyond the formation of PACs. We provide ongoing support to ensure that patients are well-informed about their rights, treatment options, and the standards they should expect from NABH-accredited hospitals. By empowering patients with knowledge, we help them become active participants in their healthcare journey.

• Support Services: We offer assistance to patients in navigating the healthcare system, clarifying doubts about hospital policies, and ensuring that their concerns are addressed in line with NABH guidelines.
