Overview

Dr. Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital's programmes are directed towards interventions which directly or indirectly impact or help in reducing the prevalence of blindness and/ or deafness amongst all sections of the society, thereby reducing the economic burden on the society and making a difference to the lives of those who cannot afford quality care.

How It Works

• The programmes are identified based on the local needs of the community taking into preview the strategic focus of the organization.
• Ideas and suggestions from members/ organizations in the community are kept in consideration while planning the programmes.
• More participatory ways of involving the stakeholders into programme identification are being evolved.
• Key interventions - Clinical: 1. Specific projects are undertaken which target major causes of blindness in North India (diabetic retinopathy, refractive errors, corneal blindness, childhood cataract, etc).
2. The NGO’s main focus is on quality assurance in eye care.
• Social Interventions: 1. Community based rehabilitation is undertaken for persons with disability. The NGO also aims at inclusive development.
2. Dr. Shroff’s Eye Centre has also set up an IT resource centre for the visually impaired in order to train them for employability.
3. Further, underprivileged school-passed girls are being trained as technicians to be employed at vision centres.
• A detailed MIS is prepared for all projects and programmes on a regular basis.
• The same is discussed internally at high-level committees.
• Based on the program requirements, external evaluation is performed by the respective project funding agencies or their technical advisors.
