Many villagers in Ramechhap rely on health camps for eye treatment

Eye patients are increasing due to inadequate treatment services at government health institutions, say health workers.

Tikaram Lama, a 74-year-old man from Ramechhap Municipality-6, is a diabetic. He has been living with the chronic disease for more than a decade now. Over the years, Lama has been suffering from vision deterioration and night blindness, but had not sought treatment given the lack of ophthalmology services in his village.
