The North Indian Cultural Association of Uganda (NICA) in partnership with the Ministry of Health have treated over 200 eye patients free of charge.
The patients were diagnosed and treated during a three day surgery eye camp at Mulago Hospital.
The camp was officially launched on 25th August by state minister for health Sarah Opendi.
During the eye camp, NICA chairman Dharmendra Agarwal said they believe in helping the needy with the gift of sight due the growing number of eye complications amongst people.
